it’s never been so close…

I know, I know… It’s 10 months away, but I’m already planning to go.

The 2005 Single Speed World Championships will be held in Pennsylvania, next August. It’s been in Germany, England, California, and rumors are that in 2006 it will be in New Zealand. So, seems like PA might be as close as it’s going to get to NC.

Should be fun…

  SSWC 2005 Headquarters Sept. 16, 2004

State College, PA

The Single Speed World Championships for 2005 will be held in State College,
PA on August 20th & 21st. This year will mark the first ever visit to
the East for the SSWC and promises to offer a challenging course in the East
Coast tradition. Racers can expect challenging climbs, rock strewn ridges,
and fast, tricky descents.

As usual, the event will focus around the main event (25+ mile single loop)
designed by local single speeders to highlight the finest trails available.

Back from past years will be the Derby to help decide the location for
2006- be ready to throw down.

Men’s and women’s titles will be decided on the now infamous
Go-Cart track (from the East Coast Single Speed Championship of the Universe)-
racers will have to qualify for the opportunity to battle in the cars, eliminating “Pro” racers
from an easy day of it.

We would also like to offer any professional bike racer under suspension
for illegal drugs by the UCI free entrance into the event. Yup, we know your
pain and would like to offer the rare chance to attain a World Title while
under suspension. In fact, let us know your favourite drugs and we just might
be able to have some waiting.

Also, Jan Ulrich - patron saint of single speeding. With that grinding
single speed climbing style, watching you push those gears brings a tear
to our eyes…free beer for you, my friend. You are our hero and a true single
speeder at heart.

 

I’m not sure why single-speed mountain bikers have such a great sense of humor.
