Pre Riding 2021 USAC Florida Cup / SERC #1 - Hailes Trails


     The very almost secret trail called Hailes Trail in Newberry, FL. The course is on private property and is only open a few of times a year by the landowners, don't miss the opportunity to ride this trail as the limited usage keeps it in great condition and the terrain is challenging for all. The race is put on by goneriding.com You can come here to preride these trails if you don't want to race the day before or just come and race. Saturday is an open ride day to the public before the race on Sunday.

     I made the trip to Hailes to pre ride the course. had heard a lot about Haile's Trails and the consensus was built on ruggedness. As I mentioned to my friends that I would be racing here, I heard statements such as. You need to pre-ride the course. It's very rough. So upon arrival I kitted up and sought out the cross-country race loop that's only rideable during race weekends. 

     I'm glad that I had the chance to squeeze in my pre ride. Hailes has a surprising number of hills. It contains tight technical sections on rolling singletrack with blind corners. It has beautiful cliffs overlooking crystal clear water that you won't see anywhere else. It has the biggest, steepest, off camber climbs that I have ever endured in Florida. The race promoters included so many accents and descents. I'm sure that I'll be testing out my lungs along with visiting my small ring during the race.
