Great picture. However, I just read this as "Tour de Farts".

Tour de Forts
To disable ads, please log-in.
Here's a pic from the Tour de Forts Century two weeks ago. As you can see, it was quite windy and just not a great day for riding. But when I tried to switch over to the metric Century, I ended up getting lost for an additional 40 miles. I don't think I'm going back next year...

Fort Clinch
The site on Amelia Island at the entrance to the St. Marys River and the Cumberland Sound has been occupied by various military troops Since 1736. Construction of a fort, later named Fort Clinch, was begun in 1847. A pentagonal brick fort with both inner and outer walls, Fort Clinch was a safe haven for blockade runners during the Civil War. Briefly occupied by Confederate forces, its recapture by Federal troops in early 1862 gave the Union control of the adjacent Georgia and Florida coasts. The fort was used in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, but was abandoned until the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) restored it in the 1930s. A Florida State Park, Fort Clinch is interpreted as the base of Union operations in the area throughout the Civil War.
