I am sending the final list for the SPOT devices today.
These SPOT devices will be provided to racers at no charge for the duration of the event. Once the race is over they will be boxed up and returned. There is no charge.
SO if your still interested in taking a shot at this fun little ride in October, email me at Nakedindian99 at aol dot com.
If not, I understand, maybe next year.
With these SPOT devices, people at home will be able to watch the race unfold from their very own living rooms.
FUN. They can keep track of the racers progress as they make their way across the course and they can see the drama of the action as it unfolds.
We are planning as well to have a Volunteer out on course taking pictures so we can get some live photos of the days event loaded up as it happens.
Exciting stuff!
Take Care,
Laters,

CFiTT news Update: IMPORTANT SPREAD THE WORD.
Competitors.
There will be a riders meeting 5am on October 10th to make sure everyone has this information.
This course was laid out and was initially done as a TOUR and that is the tradition that will continue.
Riders will be forced to have FUN. Sorry, it is the nature of the event. In order to be scored accurately for the event some items for confirmation will be required and will allow future riders to help track their progress and scoring. In order to do this riders will have to have a camera.
At Silver Glenn, you are required to video tape yourself, going for a swim in the infamous glenn. Get a receipt of payment of entry fee as well.
At the Lake Eaton loop you are required to take a self portrait shot from each of the overlooks.
In the town of Eureka get a picture of the fire station on the course.
At santos, get a picture of the main information kiosk located at the trail head.
In Pruitt, get a picture of the pruitt memorial.
Get a picture of the Haltapaki reserve sign as you enter that part of the course.
Get a picture of the Canal as you start to ride next to it.
Get a picture of the big Caboose on the withlacoochee trail.
Finally, get a picture of the huge watch tower located at the tucker hill trail head.
Key element is to figure out how to get your camera to time stamp the pictures, not a huge deal.
There will hopefully be support from spot for the race and that will aid in scoring, but the picture and the mandatory sight seeing is part of the EVENT.
Hope you can appreciate the spirit of the adventure.
Finally and this is important.
The marshall swamp section of the route is considered to be part of the florida trail and is foot traffic only. IN this section racers are required to either A. Hike threw till you get to the bike path that takes you to the baseline trail head. or B. Take the alternate, which means you take 314 to baseline road, hang a left and then ride till you past the trail head and are back on the official course. Its up to you which route you take, but you cannot RIDE your bike threw the Marshall swamp section as it is part of the Florida trail and it is Foot Traffic only.

LeTTers of INtent???
I have received two.
What I am trying to do, is talk to the company that makes the SPOT units and seeing if they will let me use some for the TT to make it spectator friendly.
So these are important. As it stands now, I dont even need it for the couple of riders I have showing up as they got good GPS units. But I would like to get other people involved, so Letters of intent are important.
If you are intending to attend, send me an email of your intention to participate, pretty please with Sugar on top.
If not, that's fine.
The special thing about this event is that its Unique, one of a kind experience for the sport of cycling in the state.
Nothing like this has been done before and it took a tiny lil man from the Central florida area to dream it up and make it happen.
Join the fun will ya.
