Single Speed World Champs 2023. Why?

It sounds epic; sadly I’m too much of a wuss to do it, but will continue to dream that one day I might win the coveted tattoo…

Like the article 🙂

Single speed will never die

So pleased to hear that the SSWCs are still going. Great stuff 🙂

Had a ball at the SSUK last year up at Llandegla, if SSWC is anything like that then it’ll be a fantastic time for all involved.

Hmm. 20 hours drive + the ferry to France. Wonder what happens if you go to Santander? I note the SS champs spain is the weekend after. Could be a good gig…

I still don’t think my liver has recovered from SSWC in Berlin 2004!

Can’t believe I forgot to list “SSWC 2011 Ireland – 4th place” on my CV 🙂

Was that 2011? Jesus.

who wants to ride there with me?

Was that 2011? Jesus.

@sillyoldman, scarily yes!

That almost sounds worth keeping my chameleon for and actually getting fit enough to ride the length of myself.

If I single speed my ebike can I still enter?

hmm…looks up dates and looks in diary…

I’ve randomly got half of MNPR arriving on my doorstep on the 8th, so I’m not sure I can make it. Argh!

I was 23rd in the world, sswc 2000+1
I think it was because I didn’t drink too much on the sat night before the race
