TiNy MaN, BuT I CaRRy a BiG StiCk

Reflection and introspection are things everyone should do from time to time.

Currently I am reading a book called "The Law of Attraction" and I am 100% IN with what the book says.

When we did the 4 riders of the Apokarip ride back in January as I pedaled across the forest I said to myself that this would make an excellent race.

I sat there and looked and looked at ways to get to Croom, then Rob put something together and tested it out and the CFiTT was born. A race to connect two forest that I believe at some point in the history of Florida, were once one forest.

An opportunity for Florida to rise up and enjoy the joys of Bikepacking. A chance for others to explore the possibilities of long dirty rides vs. the typical road rides they usually do.

And it all started with a dream, a thought, an Idea.

Now look whats going on. We got Tracking sites up, SPOT and Matt Lee and Scott Morris helping out in various ways. People I never met taking advantage of an opportunity to become a part of Singletrack Samurai's experiences.

What's on the Horizon? Well I have PLENTY of more UNIQUE RACE IDEAS. Everything from XC races, to stage races to Cross races to adventure races, etc. I want to build this thing that I call Singletrack Samurai productions into a race company that gives racers a chance to do something not just challenging, but FUN. Eventually, I want to build this into Singletrack Samurai outfitters and make a Unique bike shop as unique as our events, that offer more then what your used too. Not just races, but tours and many other things.

BUT, whats on next. Well Back by popular demand, mark your calendar, the Naked Indian ride 2010 Will be held Saturday January 2nd (start sending your emails now). And then Sometime in Spring we will do the Singletrack Samurai adventure race in spring. Close to that time as well I will release the Monster route close to 300 mostly off road miles, called the Eye of the Huracan.

Eventually, for this to happen, I may have to have some of these events become legitimate, and have entry fee's and insurance and all that stuff. BUT, the NK ride will still remain as it is, and the Eye of the Huracan and the CFiTT will do the same.

I want the Local MTB community to have options in what they want to experience on a bike. XC racing is well established and lord knows that I raced that scene for many many years. I do not want to ever take anything away from that. I only want the chance to offer something different.

And it all started with a thought. So ya, I am taking an opportunity to pat myself on the back, if I dont do it, who will?
