What Events Does Gone Riding Promote and Where Can I Find Them?
Updated
Gone Riding promotes off-road cycling races across the Southeastern United States, including cross country, endurance, gravel, short track, time trial, and team time trial formats. The homepage lists upcoming events with dates, locations, and registration links, and points to a full events page for the complete calendar. Events are organized into named series such as the Florida State Championship series (FSC), Coconut Cup Championship series (CC), and Georgia State Championship series (GSC).
What kinds of events does Gone Riding run?
The site describes Gone Riding as an off-road cycling promoter serving riders from age 3 to 60-plus, from experts to enthusiasts. Its event formats include:
- Cross Country (XC) — the most frequently listed race type across the calendar
- Endurance — longer-format off-road racing
- Gravel — off-road events on gravel surfaces
- Short Track (ST) — compact, high-intensity racing
- Time Trial (TT) and Team Time Trial (TTT) — individual and team timed events
Many weekends combine formats. For example, the October 3–4 West Palm Beach listing offers separate Short Track and Cross Country registration, and the December 5–6 Hialeah listing offers separate Time Trial and Cross Country registration.
Where can I find the full event list and registration links?
The homepage shows a selection of upcoming events under "Upcoming Events," with a note directing visitors to click through for all events. Each listed event includes:
- Series and round number — e.g., "FSC#3 + CC#2"
- Location — city and state
- Date — specific day or multi-day range
- Register link — separate links when a weekend hosts multiple race formats
To find the complete calendar, follow the "for all events click HERE" link on the homepage. Registration for each event is handled through its own link rather than a single central signup.
Which series does Gone Riding organize?
The site lists three upcoming series:
| Series | Full name | Region | Season listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| FSC | Florida State Championship series | Florida | 2026 |
| CC | Coconut Cup Championship series | Florida | 2026–2027 |
| GSC | Georgia State Championship series | Georgia | 2026 |
These series account for most of the individual race listings on the homepage, with rounds numbered sequentially (FSC#1 through FSC#8, CC#1 through CC#4, and so on).
What do the sample event listings look like?
The homepage's upcoming events show the pattern you can expect when browsing the calendar:
- CC#1 + ST — West Palm Beach, FL — October 3–4 — separate ST and XC registration
- FSC#3 + CC#2 — Deerfield Beach, FL — October 11 — XC registration
- FSC#4 + TTT — Ocala, FL — October 18 — registration
- FSC#5 + ST + CC MU — Lakeland, FL — October 24–25 — separate ST and XC registration
- FSC#6 — Alachua, FL — November 15 — registration
- FSC#7 + CC#3 — Alva, FL — November 22 — registration
- CC#4 + FSC-MU — Hialeah, FL — December 5–6 — separate TT and XC registration
- FSC#8 — Ocala, FL — December 13 — registration
This shows that a single weekend can carry multiple series rounds and multiple race formats, each with its own registration link.
Do I need a USA Cycling membership?
The homepage includes a prompt asking whether you need to get or renew a USA Cycling membership, and offers a discount code (GR2023) for Junior, Junior+, Race, Race+, Collegiate, and Collegiate+ licenses. The code is listed with an expiration of 12/31/23, so check current terms before relying on it. Membership requirements for specific events are not detailed on the homepage — confirm with each event's registration page.
Where can I follow results and recaps?
Gone Riding maintains a blog with race recaps and series updates, such as the FSC season opener in Tallahassee and the GSC finale at Dauset Trails in Jackson, Georgia. The site also has sections for Events & Results, Sponsors, Blog, Archive, and Information, which are the places to check for past results and series standings.
