Florida mountain biking in November

Angel David Rodriguez is a 10 year old cyclist who competes in MTB, BMX and Road Racing. He started in motorcross at the age of 2 ½ and was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 ½ so his father switched him to cycling. He immediately took an interest in mountain biking and has been training with Stradalli Cycle mountain biker Bob McCarty.

His parents believe that cycling has helped tremendously with his autism and Angel competes in races throughout the year. Some of his more impressive accomplishments include:

Winning the State Time Trial Championship the first time he raced a road bike

Cross Country Champ Ages 9-11

Greater than all these accomplishments is the positive attitude Angel has towards life and others with disabilities.

“Angels Racing Together” is a program his parents created where children who are in therapy with Angel are brought to some of his races to cheer him on. Before the race Angel puts the names of each child who is there on the back of his jersey and gives them any medals or trophies he wins on that day. He does this because he wants them to experience some of the joy cycling has brought him.

Stradalli 29er Full Carbon Fiber Mountain Bike Frame Sale

The Markham 100 finished this weekend with Bob McCarty of Stradalli Cycles taking the top step of the podium.

The Markham 100, which took place at Markham Park in South Florida, featured some of the most technical trails ever featured in a mountain bike race in Florida. The race saw over 250 starters for the 100 kilometer race making it one of the biggest mountain bike events in the history of South Florida.

Markham Park is known for very technical trails and the Markham 100 included many of these. The event even went so far to run one of the trails backwards, which threw even local riders into a difficult situation. The course included everything from very steep, rooted uphills to winding, tight single track.

All individuals from all categories would start the race at the same time, meaning it was a mad dash to enter the trails first.

McCarty, riding the Stradalli 650b full suspension, was at the front of the race with 1 other rider for the entirety of the race. However, McCarty's race was not as easy as he made it look. A fork malfunction on lap 4 meant McCarty rode the entirety of the race with a nearly rigid fork.

This created many difficulties in tight corners and fast downhill sections, but McCarty and the Stradalli 650b performed flawlessly throughout the race.

McCarty's experience would see him not only lead the entire race, but also post a blistering lap time of 20:24 on his 12th lap to cement his 1st place finish at the Markham 100.
