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. Mens and womens 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.

Has anyone ever competed in the SSWC on a uni before?
I was thinking about giving the bike shop a call who's hosting it and
seeing if they would be intersted in a Uni Class for the race.
Would anyone else be interested to going and riding in this event, I
know it is about a year away but I think it could be a good event for
everyone involved.

Coincidentally the 2003 article of DIRT RAG with 'this article in it'
(http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albuo20/aaa)(courtesy of mojoe) also had
coverage of the 2003 singlespeed world champ's held in northern
california. I have some pics posted 'here(bottom of page)'
(http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album392) one of the pics is upside-down
but I am lazy and too tired to do it meself. Oh and they are pics not
scans.--

*Hey Chex...
I doubt they would make a uni class, but they would surely let you
compete and they may give you a prize just for showing up a muni. They
only give tattoos for the fastest male and female rider, but they give
away alot of other prizes for fattest, skinniest, drunkest, bloodiest,
nakedest, etc....Mojoe *
Last year the top riders (male+female) were branded not tattoos.

I guess the hosts of this event are not interested in ever being
associated with the UCI. I'm glad unicycling is years away from having
to worry about drug rules, drug testing, drug scandals, etc. But I hope
unicycling can someday be a recognized sport under the UCI, so I don't
recommend we use the same practice in the future! 🙂It sounds like a fun event (unless you won last year I guess). A
single-speed competition is a very appropriate place for unicycles to
join in. It would be even more fun to race unicycles against
single-speed bikes with fixed wheels (no coasting!) Then it would be
almost an even match, except they could still lift their feet up and
coast...--

Don't bother trying to get a separate category for unicyclists, just
join in with everyone else, singlespeed events aren't really about
categories and stuff, just everyone riding in the event whatever bike
they've got, as long as it hasn't got more than one gear. It's much
more fun to be in a big mass start category than a weeny little
special one, which they'd quite likely want to start separately. You
also get the fun of beating bikes too.*Seconded, its fun beating bikes. LOTS of fun. I almost prefer raceing
agaist two wheelers to one... no one expects me to do well.

I would be interested in it as well. I have never competed before, but
it would definitely be fun.--
