SSWC09

Durango, Colorado home of some of my favorite trails and beer. This year it is also home of the Single Speed Worlds! I have always had this weird fascination with the SSWC. Maybe its the mix of craziness surrounding the event with several days of pre-race party, post-race party, or maybe its the fact that I personally think that getting tattooed with the emblem of the race for taking the winners circle is better than any other prize. I mean who needs another darn small trophy of some sort. The SSWC is what drew me into SSing. That crazy culture behind the now current fad among mountain bikers seems like home, and this year I'll be there.
I colored my entry form, got it sent in and officially am on the list with close to 150 other women (and 500 men). Not a race to win for me, but sure as heck a race to go have one heck of a ride and party at!

Still alive

Sorry all - the last 6 weeks have flown by. With the end of the semester and grading for 5 classes, travel to the tundra (Michigan and Illinois) and some serious family health problems to deal with its been a long while since I paid any of you attention. In the interim I have been training hard (save for 2 weeks in the tundra)and gearing up for sponsors for next year. Big Wheel Racing has brough in some awesone new sponsors and I'll get everyone's logos and links up here soon.
Personally I got to thank Rhoda Weill at Rolling R Productions, Christina P. Argyres, Attorney at Law, and C:Change design firm from the Windy City - with a shout out to Hugh Shulze, owner of C:Change for his short film Arc of a Bird debut at the Santa Fe Film Festival last month!
Now, I just got my Kenda Tires order in, so I'm off to sort through it. I'll be back regularly until 24 HiTOP see ya soon
