Important CFITT UPDATE
Prospective CFiTT Competitors:
I have some good news.
We are removing the time restrictions for the race. In fact, as long as it takes you is a long as it takes.
Scoring is going to be worked out, but rest assured you will need a camera and a cell phone to be able to compete and get scored.
The bad news is that we mapped out the first 100 miles yesterday and it was Challenging. In fact, I expect in the first 15 miles someone to drop out and then the next 85 miles someone will drop out. And then by the time you reach Santos, everyone is gonna wanna stop. I see only the most elite athletes in the world being able to continue after you ride all the stuff we ride in the ONF. Its a tough course and I have some serious warnings that you need to consider. IF you think I am trying to scare you off, your right I am.
What I dont want is people to have any false hope or pretenses. This is truly a dirty event, as dirty as any of the Hundies that you find around the nation. The accumulated climbing from day one will have many competitors camping early. Its going to be a ball buster and every bit harder than you imagined it would be. It presents and requires you to have a combination of skills that some of you may simply not posses. I recommend you have a good escape route planned as this is a self supported race bound by the honor code and if you DNF you may want to have a friend on stand by to come retrieve you.
I want only the people who feel that they are up too and want this challenge to participate in this race. If you are questioning your abilities, I encourage you to stay home. There is no fee for this time trial, I am not profiting from it financially, so I have no problem telling people stay home, this is probably too hard for you.
DO NOT RIDE A CROSS BIKE AND JOIN THIS EVENT FULLY PREPARED FOR ANYTHING.
That is all,
thanks,

CFiTT news...
Well, all of the sudden there seems to be an increased curiousity about this ride and race. Sunday I am going to go GPX the first half of the route in preparation to get everyone what they need to be ready to race.
There is an inherent need in all of us, to push our limits and adventure further then we ever had before. A need to see another side of the place that we live in.
The route that I have layed out together with Rob Roberts, gives you a glimpse into off road touring that you never thought was possible in the wonderful state of Florida.
I know this is a new idea and a new concept so if anyone is interested and wants to participate and they have questions, I have an open ear and I am ready to answer. I am willing to share my ideas and concepts and experience.
This Sunday, Paisley MTB trailhead 7am, we are rolling out. If you want to join, just be there, but I tell you this. There will be single track, there will be road, there will be long climbs and there will be some beautiful sights to behold as we roll about 120 miles or less into Santos.
Come join the fun, challenge yourself, once the route is realeased its open to be enjoyed and toured at anytime by anyone.
Enjoy the fruits of my labor!

FoR ImmeDiate ReleAse: SinGLeTracK SamuRai ProDuctioN PreSents the CrOss FLoRidA IndiVidual Time TriAL October 10th 6am start.
Self Supported racing is here to stay.
Best part is its free, no prizes no entry fees.
Many other places have a similar event and I wanted US to have our own.
This is a truly off road dirty century and then some, barely any road riding, but plenty of dirt roads, double track, single track and bike path.
Step up to the challenge, Here is the details email me if your interested in participating, post around if you like I want to get as many people involved as possible.(rules and regulations copied adapted off another site that offers similar self supported racing.
CFITT based off one principle: Complete the entire designated route on your own pedal power and do so in a 100% self-supported fashion.
* To complete the race, riders can resupply, etc. along the route, as long as the services are not prearranged. Pre-planned outside assistance with navigation, lodging or resupply (esp. receipt of supplies from a non-commercial shipper) is forbidden.
* Racers must always follow the official Designated Race route.
* Advancing on the route by any means other than your own pedal power is strictly forbidden. No drafting. Any type of air scoop or umbrella sail intended to harness wind power is prohibited. In the event of a serious mechanical, medical, or other emergency, a racer may be assisted in moving backwards or directly off the route, but never forward. In the event of an emergency repair, you may gain a ride, but must rejoin the route exactly where you left off.
* GPS units are permitted but non-essential. Mobile phones are also permitted.
* CFITT racing is a do-it-yourself challenge. Racers alone are responsible for their safety.
* CFITT is a solo competition but racing in the company of other racers is permitted. Sharing of equipment or supplies and drafting are prohibited.
* In order to compete in the CFITT you must own a copy of the ONF map. AS well as carry the route details on your person. The copy can either be purchased from the Rangers offices at the prescribed locations or can be printed of PDF file from the Event Coordinator.
* Race starts at 6am on Saturday October 10th from the Paisley MTB Trailhead. You are then required to follow the course.
* Estimated distance is 170~ miles per the GPX file.
* You must arrange transportation to the Paisley Trailhead and pick up from Tucker Hill Trailhead in Croom. There are no cut offs and you make take as long as necessary to complete the course.
