Let the Games Begin

The SingleSpeed World Championships in Durango Colorado have begun. Teammates Lenny and Claudia Goodell made the front page of the Durango Herald cheesin' it on the first group ride of the weeks events. Seems local (meaning from Durango) teammates Matt and Jeni opted out of the event along with Rico, Colorado rider Jeff to actually compete in a 12 Hour event this weekend. I hear the course is not very ridable for at least 7 of the first 11 miles, but hell - who really goes to ride this event anyway? Okay out of 981 riders probably 200 riders come to "race," the rest come for the craziness of 900 cyclists on SingleSpeeds and the inevitable rolling party that results!

Hey, we didn't opt out, we raced and finished. Woohoo!! Great seeing you at the race. :)

Yes, but man that 12 race in Delta sounded like a great oportunity to support trail building and the next generation of endurance singlespeeders! its tough to support more than one thing at a time, glad we had representation at both!
Great job out there at the Worlds Jeni and Matt and all my other pals.
