We will kick off season two in the central part of the state on the wonderful trails at Loyce E. Harpe Park, otherwise known as Carter Road! The single track at Carter Road is built on the rugged terrain of what was once a phosphate mining site offering a little something for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. Student-athletes will experience a course that starts off on a wide dirt road then flows into single track that meanders around scenic lakes, takes them up and down ridges and then ends with a section of tight, twisty, single track that takes them to the finish.

Santos Vortex Trailhead
9150 SE 25th Avenue – Ocala, Florida 34480

For our fourth AND fifth series events we are going to the famous trails of Santos! Student-athletes will start in the Pit of the Vortex area of Santos and head directly up a double track road that leads into an open field. From here riders will enter the trails leading to Twister which is a fast, flowy, and you guessed it, twisty trail. Although not considered to be a technical trail, keep your eyes open for the few fast turns and rooty sections as well as a few steep drops and inclines to keep you on your toes. This trail will leave students exiting the trails with a huge smile. Saturday student-athletes will run the course clockwise and Sunday it will run in reverse!
