About C.F.I.T.T.

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 but may not be used for 3rd party assistance in navigation.

• 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 then have to follow the designated route for the remainder of the trial.
  

• Estimated distance is 170~ miles.

• You must arrange transportation to the Paisley Trailhead and pick up from Tucker Hill Trailhead in Croom. You may take as long as necessary to complete your trial.
