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!
