What Are the FSC, CC, and GSC Race Series on Gone Riding?
Updated
Gone Riding is a Southeastern off-road cycling promoter that has been organizing mountain bike races since 1993. Its site lists three main race series: FSC (Florida State Championship series), CC (Coconut Cup Championship series), and GSC (Georgia State Championship series). The FSC and CC series take place in Florida, while the GSC series is held in Georgia. According to the site, the upcoming seasons are FSC and CC for Florida in 2026, and GSC for Georgia in 2026.
The Three Series at a Glance
| Series | Full Name | Region | Season Listed on Site |
|---|---|---|---|
| FSC | Florida State Championship series | Florida | 2026 |
| CC | Coconut Cup Championship series | Florida | 2026–2027 |
| GSC | Georgia State Championship series | Georgia | 2026 |
FSC — Florida State Championship Series
The FSC is Gone Riding's Florida-based cross-country series. The site's upcoming events show FSC rounds at venues across the state, including Deerfield Beach, Ocala, Lakeland, Alachua, Alva, and Hialeah. Several of these weekends pair an FSC race with another format — for example, FSC #4 is listed alongside a TTT (team time trial), and FSC #5 is listed with both ST (short track) and CC events.
The season opener is described in a recent post as the "FSC kickoff in Tally" at Tom Brown Park in Tallahassee, which the site notes "kicked off as a wet one."
CC — Coconut Cup Championship Series
The CC is a second Florida series, run as the Coconut Cup Championship series. On the events list it frequently appears as a companion race on the same weekend as an FSC round — for example, "CC#1 + ST" in West Palm Beach, "FSC#3 + CC#2" in Deerfield Beach, and "FSC#7 + CC#3" in Alva. The site lists its season range as 2026–2027.
GSC — Georgia State Championship Series
The GSC is the Georgia counterpart, run as the Georgia State Championship series. Recent posts describe GSC rounds at Dauset Trails in Jackson ("GSC wrap up in Jackson") and at Enterprise South Nature Trails in Chattanooga, Tennessee ("GSC pulls into Chattanooga"). The site lists the GSC season as 2026.
How to Find Events and Results
The Gone Riding site organizes this information under a few main areas:
- Upcoming Events — a dated list of race weekends with links to register for each discipline (XC, ST, TT, and others).
- Events & Results — the archive for past events and their results.
- Blog / Recent Posts — race recaps, such as the FSC opener in Tallahassee and the GSC finale at Dauset Trails.
The site also notes that riders can get or renew a USA Cycling membership, mentioning a $25 discount code (GR2023) applicable to Junior, Junior+, Race, Race+, Collegiate, and Collegiate+ licenses, with an expiration of 12/31/23.
What This Means for Riders
If you're looking for a Florida cross-country series, the FSC and CC are the two to follow, and they often share race weekends. If you're in Georgia, the GSC is the relevant series. Because the site lists specific seasons (2026 for FSC and GSC, 2026–2027 for CC), check the Upcoming Events page for current dates and registration links before planning, since schedules and venues can change between seasons.
