State College, PA

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) 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.

With that in mind...who's going? I'm currently in negotiations w/the wife. I know there's a rather large contigent that'll be going from the Cities/Madison/Mwke/Chi-town. It seems to me that there'll be a need for some rider shares happening. Or should someone rent an RV? I've done that before, and it seemed to work out well.

Marti,

I am currently planning on going. I would be interested in sharing my ride or someone elses, Sharing an RV, whatever.

I plan on this time of leaving thursday and coming back monday. I might even extend it a little longer than that if I decide not to go to Fruita this coming year.

Anyone know if the EVIL bus and crew will be showing up? I would guess a good number will be there.

No doubt I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure I can swing one large bike trip next year. Now I just have to decide, Fruita FTF or SS worlds. I've got lots of reasons to head to CO but a good excuse for a riding trip out east doesn't come along that often. I know there is some killer trails in them old hills.

I'll have to think about it over the winter but kinda leaning toward the SSworlds then maybe hit KC summit again in the spring. I'd definitely be up for some sort of carpool.
