16th of October OMG!

OK, so I can't believe we haven't updated here in months.

The race is on! The date is set. The course is always changing.

So the third weekend in October will bring the SS Championships back to Prague. We are sticking with the Točna area to ride, but will have some minor course changes and a new starting point. There will still be a neutral section at the beginning, which like last year allowed us to fix a small problem or two before the real racing started.

Tell everyone you know. (Maybe we strategically leave it to the last minute so no one has a chance to train.) Bring the whole family! We have even had a new playground specially built at the finish to entertain our kids. (Really, come check it out. Hopefully the swings will be repaired in time.)

The weather will be warmer than last year! 

I promise NO fresh snow will be on the course this year! (although that means those of you not in the front will have to pay more attention to our minimalist signage!)

A few sponsors have been lined up, so we can expect some decent schwag for all riders again this year. Plus, both the Men's and Women's winners are going to get custom long sleeve National Champion Jerseys made for us by Champion Systems. After the race all participants will be able to order either a short or long sleeve SS competitor jersey at our group rate (more info on that in an upcoming post.)

We are still courting sponsors, so if any of your employers or friends want to donate some prizes, beer, or any support, we will be glad to recognize them; and we truly appreciate the support. As always this event is both competitive and friendly. All prizes, donations, and money we bring in go directly back out to you the rider. We are not for profit, but for the spread of the singlespeed love!

Mark your calendars and email us to let us know you and all of your friends are coming!
