Class Act Racing

       The 2021 FLE #5 - 30/60 - mile Vortex, known as the Santos Classic, took place on 8 miles of pure single track. The course offered lots of punchy climbs along with lots of varying terrain. I had already pre-registered online, the night prior it was calling for rain. The continuous showers throughout the race made for some interesting corners and lines. The rain made it open season for the technically superior riders to excel.        I was not super aggressive at the start like I normally am for XC races. I just kind of took off with the group and settled in around mid pack to start. My goal was to get through that first mile with no issues and then settle into a good pace when we hit the flatter single track. The first mile consisted of a newer section with off camber climbs. With the rain this section seemed to challenge many of the riders. I really had no clue who the fast guys were in this group and I honestly did not pay attention to when the leaders pulled away, I just rode

     Blue Hills State Park located in Massachusetts. The park spans across the surrounding towns of Milton, Canton, and Quincy. Home to over 7000-acres of land. Both intermediate and expert riders alike will enjoy the trails of the Blue Hills. Single and double tracks can be found throughout the reservation, with many trails leading to various highpoints that overlook the Boston skyline. This video provides a glimpse of us mountain biking on the Ponkapoag section of the park. This loop is fun and very fast. The flowly singletrack and punchy climbs make for a great training loop.                                                                                                                                                             230 Washington St Weymouth, MA 02188 (781) 337-7125 Please follow us:  Facebook Instagram  Blogspot Website Strava
