A "Haile" of a race!

It was a great day for racing for at the Southeastern Regional Championship mountain bike race in Gainesville, FL at Gatorback - Hailes Trails. And Team Cycle Logic had a great race!

This course was extremely technical, two laps for a total of 10.5 miles, with steep rooty climbs, heart stopping drops, and gravely rutted limerock climbs and descents. If you didn’t pick the right line, the slightest error could send you tumbling into the deep quarries below.

Justin Pfaff proved his bike handling skills, and with his endurance from road racing, placed 3rd in his class, leaving the remainder of the field nowhere in sight. [Justin raced in the 11-14 age group, Justin is only 11 - editor]

And Doug Folkerth’s road training and winter stadiums paid off, as he sprinted the last 200 yards to a 3rd place finish, outpacing the guy on his back the entire way by 20 seconds!

Way to go, guys – you rock!
