ok so bad ass event for all bad asses... i proved myself to be the least of these... but hey i showed up damnit! March 18th was the day of the great Florida State Single Speed Championships! It was my first chance to take a hack at racing the Monkey. The event was held at Alafia River State Park and I brought the secret weapon! Caleb got to come and show his might in the kids race. Calebs race was before mine and the action was extreme. It was Caleb vs. Shelby Burnett. From the start shelby had the hole shot but not for long... Caleb was right on his tail for most of the first half of the 1/4 mile lap... ha lots of...
never mind, so continueing... continuing? continyouing? next came the STEEPS yo, Shelby started to show signs of weakness coming into the climb and Caleb could tell he was hurting... Caleb thought back to his training on the foot bridges of the old pinellas park secret training grounds where he would climb for 100 yards strait up, while staddling two pillars and being beaten by a bamboo pole with a salt tablet in his eyes so he couldnt see where he was about to be beaten... then he layed down the smack... boom! gone Caleb flew up that hill so fast that everyone could hardly realise a 5 year old had just flew by... in the back of thier minds they were thinking... Did Tinker come out today? It came down to the last few feet and Caleb took 
a fall trying to go into the chicane and he missed the win by only a couple second... no one was disappointed... though he did get his severe beating for loosing...HA HA JUST KIDDING!!! no but it was a fun race... very close and very intense... the kids races are always the spectator version of the races. I didnt do so well but i did have a lot of fun... the Monkey will prevail in the end.
