About Me
I'm the creator of this site as well as an avid cyclist who wants to explore and be a part of all forms of cycling so weather you are a commuter, a club rider or racer, everyone is welcome here.
In my day job, I own a screen printing company called Caleb's Creations and have been in business for 17 years based out of the Tampa Florida Area. If you would like to learn more about this, please take a look at www.promoplanet.biz .
One of the things that I think is important for all cyclists is Bicycle Advocacy for all ages and bicycle types so I've also created a website to help educate people about Sharrows, find out more about Sharrows here www.sharrowshirts.com
Last but not least, at 50 years old I started racing in Critieriums and Time Trials, the Florida Masters is my Team, and I'm also the webmaster for our site located at www.flmasters.com
Lets have some fun and share our own unique experiances, the site is only as interesting as YOU make it so lets roll !

This is the highest elevation in the state of Florida and its called Sugar Loaf Mountain, very steep hill. Not sure what the grade is but it will whip you.

If you would like to be considered for one of these positions, send me a friend…

Lets Do A New Thing !
After spending over a year, a bit of money, as well as a lot of time and energy invested with another Velo site, I've decided to return to something that I think works as a great place to meet up with other like minded Bicycle people. Its going to take a lot of work and I'll need quite a bit of help, but it will be worth it.
Feel free to get started on your own blog posts, photo up loads, its our site and it will only be what we make it so lets get started…
