It’s 2009 and singlespeeding’s still not dead!

It’s 2009 and singlespeeding’s still not dead!

The upcoming 2009 UK Single Speed Championships at Dalby Forest on the 6th and 7th of June has provided scientific proof that pronouncements of singlespeeding’s demise are distinctly premature. Nearly 300 riders have already signed up and places on the start line are disappearing fast. Strong local support for the race from bike shops and companies has been matched with prize donations from all over the UK and overseas.
Local sponsors include Pace Cycles, Big Bear Bikes, Boarding Edge, Moonglu and Fulford Cycles. Other nice people include Buff, Endura, Clif Bar, Crank Brothers, Great Rock, Singletrack Magazine, Singular Cycles, Royal Racing, Sunline, Niner, Chub, Ernesto Lube, Team Nutrition, Sideways Cycles, White Industries, Superstar Components, Charlie the Bike Monger, OneFGear, The Cycle Jersey, Cycle Surgery, Dirt Rag and Drunk Cyclist.
With a tough course taking in the best riding that Dalby has to offer, refreshments from Cropton Brewery, and entertainments from Rollapaluza, plus live music, all the ingredients are there for a classic weekend of good riding, a fantastic night of fun, and some cracking racing.

If you fancy a bit of that then head over to www.ssuk09.com and sign up. The website also has details of how to start the race with one particularly special number on the front of your bike. We’ve no idea why it’s so popular, but lots of people seem to want it. It could be you – check the website for more!
SSUK09 is supported by the Forestry Commission and SingletrAction – Yorkshire’s Mountain Bike Trailbuilders. SSUK09 is organised for fun, not money – anything left over will go to support the local trails for everyone to ride.
