  3. Gone Riding FSC Races

FSC #4 Tallahassee 2009

Gone Riding's FSC #4 on Tom Brown Park's Magnolia Trail and Lafayette Heritage Trail Park's eponymous doubletrack #1-23, Loblolly Trail #12L-9L, and Cadillac Trail 24C-1C. Total damage was ~2840 (4.4GB) stills, ~160 (3.1GB) video clips. If I catch anything horribly out of focus, or a snap of a tree instead of the rider, I'll delete. Typically, I don't even look at everything. Yes, I know the camera zaps exposure every now and again. I have beaten the heck out of that camera. You guys have even drenched it crossing Conner Creek. But we soldier on... Video will take longest to upload, as in during the next week...or so. Check here for the videos. Past years' action. Gone Riding FSC #4 info: Endurance Factor rider clinic Saturday 1pm Bonus Team Time Trial Saturday at 5pm, Sunday is cross country race. Wave order: Yellow / White.

  • From this GPS track. The course, plus a few of my "cuts," entrance from the Fern Trail Connector to the west, and some Goose Pond paved trail. Everything will be ridden anticlockwise. Some comments from my Gone Riding Facebook 16 Oct post: "The east section is nearly identical to last year with minimal revision at Lafayette Heritage Trail's doubletrack at #22 just before Loblolly. That's where some folks were shortcutting last year. Same east turnaround point. Yes, you ride wet through the creek like last year. It was awesome today on the SS rigid 29er. West end of the course is revised due to Red Cross construction. You still get to ride the Gun Range edge and drop. Direction of the course is same as last year, anticlockwise. Yes, BMX track just before finishing each lap."

  • My Friday meanderings from home base through East Fern Trail's Bog Loop, to Higher Ground's new MTB shop (top left), to Magnolia Trail, onto the FSC #4 course in the west field at #34, lap and a quarter, exit onto paved Goose Pond Trail, back to Higher Ground via Fern Connector, then home via Bog Loop's east side.

  • Friday afternoon. I was into what turned into a full loop and a quarter of the 2009 course, plus my commute to and from Tom Brown Park. Dave Berger was out finishing course flagging. The start is on the other side of the big Gone Riding trailer
