 
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 make follow the course as it has been laid out.
- Estimated distance is 170 miles and your trial ends when you reach Tucker hill.
- You must arrange transportation to the Paisley      Trailhead and pick up from Tucker Hill Trailhead in Croom.  If you do not make a cut off you may continue      doing the ride but your time will not be counted for General      Classification.
Thanks,
Karlos

DO YOU REALLY NEED 32 HOURS TO COVER 150 MTB MILES?????????
maybe not, Anonymous, why dont you come out and show us how its done, its a time limit not the recommended arrival time.
Plus 150 is a rough estimate, it may be more.
maybe closer to 180 miles... Still like I said, 32 hours is a time limit, it is a time trial you can ride as fast as you want, thats the intention.
sounds hard!
DO IT RICKY!
Elevation profile or estimate?
BMITD!
Eric
It is Florida there is no elevation profile.
LOL, you would be surprised, there is alot of climbing out in the ONF and Croom will have its fare share, its not mountains but you will definetely feel it..
