In August, a unanimous vote was cast by the Baton Rouge Area Mountain Bike Association in favor of adopting The West Feliciana Sports Park trail under its non-profit stewardship.

Robert Clark sacrificed the competition. All Hail the new Beast Master!

Coming in second and third were Lynn Gray and Chris Morgan. Youngster Tanner Morgan gave an impressive run in fifth place.

Holly Ratcliff destroyed the field in the women's division. Justin won the bike toss with an impressive display of muscularity. Garrett Morgan won the beginner's class race.

Earlier this week, professional mountain biker, road racer, and cyclocross racer Jason Sager (who is also a Baton Rouge native), came to host a ride with a team of riders in association with Rapha Sportswear. They are on a continental tour of epic rides and the Roubaix ride was one of their most anticipated legs of the journey.

Here's a new logo for the Beast Trail. What do you think?. We'll be putting the iconic canid's head on all the new signage. The logo's "Beast" is either a bear or a cougar depending upon how you look at it, both of which make West Feliciana Parish their homes. Its eyes are double-diamonds, representing the challenging reputation of the trail.
