The Single Speed World Championships for 2005 will be
held in State College, PA on August 20th & 21rst. 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)
[KREISCH!!!] 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 favorite 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.
