Half the guys on my team who raced last Thursday were on singlespeeds. Singlespeed is an official bracket at most events (at least around the PNW) and there's talk of some series even breaking it down into SS-Cat-X so guys like me aren't just getting dusted in a lap and a half by Cat-1/2 guys like JT Fountain (USAC Nationals) and Craig Etheridge (CMWC). I got winded just trying to get from one side of the meadow to the other so I could snap pix of those two dudes!

I am, however, the lone Clyde reppin' Team SLK. Can't wait for the PDX Cross Crusade, since they have a Clyde division!
