About Us


  


 As the owners of the Mullet Ranch, my wife Shari and I have cultivated our outlook on life and the way it should be shared with friends for many years. We personally have found that the best times in life are spent with close and newly found friends sharing activities that we all love. Experiences so intense that they are etched in your memories, and the desire to relive these life moments so strong that your next vacation choice is a foregone conclusion: You have to return.

 

Just what is it that would affect you in such a way? First of all let me say,"The Mullet Ranch is not just a place but a state of mind." You must travel to sunny Southwest Florida - while the rest of the country is snow plowing - and spend a week with Shari and me to understand what the Mullet Ranch is about. If the following passions are ones you already possess or ones you wish to explore, the Mullet Ranch is for you.

 

Racing Bicycles: Have you already found that moment where you pushed your body to pain levels you didn't think possible, only to find it is those times where you are most alive? If you have, the Mullet Ranch is for you. If you would like to experience that moment, the Mullet Ranch is for you. Racing your bike is not easy, at times it's a suffer-fest, but the feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is a high given only to bike racers. This fact is what our camp is built on, and what sets us apart.

 


Show up in sunny Southwest Florida this winter and you will be in for a full-on racing adventure. You and seven good friends will spend the week training with the leader of the powerful Texas Roadhouse Cycling Team and 21-time National Champion, Curtis Tolson.

For the entire week your "team" will spend each day riding with Curtis. All the knowledge that can only come from a lifetime of racing bicyles will be imparted on your group. From training techniques that make you faster, to group exercises such as revolving pacelines and eschelons, by the end of the week your group will become a race team. But wait: There is more! Your week doesn't just end with goodbyes. We load up our Bluebird Wanderlodge RV (aka. “The Bus”) and head out for a real race on Saturday. When we roll into the race venue you will be wearing custom "Team Mullet Ranch" cycling kits and using the tactics learned during the course of the week to do battle in a Florida Points Series Race. Your first week of many at the ranch ends with an actual bike race with your team, where your legs can do the "TALKIN’".

 

 

Fishing: While mornings are spent on the bikes, our afternoons are filled with another passion: Spending time on the water with the Mullet Ranch's very own Captain Sam Dixon. This man grew up on these waters as a commercial fisherman and now will use his knowledge to guide you on a once- in-a-lifetime fishing expedition. Not only is the fishing legendary, but the day spent with Sam will forever get you “hooked” on life at the Ranch. Caution: We eat what you catch: Snook, Red Fish, and MULLET.

 

Captain Sam is not included in the Camp Fee. But for a life changing experience it is almost free. I personally guarantee your fishing trip will be worth every cent. Especially since I will help you eat the Mustard Fried Red Fish, or the Smoked Mullet.

Friends: Shari and I, along with Sam and Curtis, know and understand that great friends and family are what makes life worth living. Making friends and memories that last a lifetime is the reason for our endeavor. You'll leave the Mullet Ranch tired, but looking forward to your return. And most importantly you'll understand that the "Mullet Ranch isn't just a place but a state of mind".
