On Saturday, April 12, the familiar trails of the Withlacoochee State Forest were home to a brand new triathlon-style race – a paddle/mountain bike/run.
The (organizers hope) annual Croom Quest started at Nobleton Canoe Outpost around 8 a.m. with 10 miles of paddling on the Withlacoochee River. Then it was biking (in sweltering heat) to Tucker Hill Fire Tower, running a 11.5-mile loop on the Florida Trail, and another bike ride from Tucker Hill back to Nobleton (20 miles of biking in all).
About 30 people participated in the small but friendly race put on by WeCeFAR (West Central Florida Adventure Racing club – www.wecefar.com).
Check out some pictures of the start of the race here.

Check out these cats riding in the Vortex area of Santos on the Cross Florida Greenway. Me? I stuck with the Puppy Trail, thank you very much.
I got a chance to go up to the top of Bok Tower! Now, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to go up there, you have to be somebody to gain access to this incredible structure. That said, I’m not too sure how I got in…

So I was stingy and never shared this video here with you, my loyal fans. It’s been sitting on my YouTube channel, but for some reason I didn’t post it here. Sorry, homeboys and homegirls, hopefully you will be nice and give me a pass this time, it won’t happen again.
We all know and faithfully [...]
