I love riding singlespeed. The races I want to go to generally don’t have women’s singlespeed categories, though. I don’t blame them- there are relatively few women who race (compared to men), so asking them to break the women’s race down further to include a SS category is kinda tough.<\/p>\n

Namrita<\/a> at 55nine had told me that if 3 women would be willing to race SS at Fool’s Gold<\/a> that she’d make it a separate category. Awesome!!! Oh, wait- that means I need to find two other women who will race SS.<\/p>\n

Anyone? Anyone?<\/p>\n

I posted the same question over in the Endurance forum on MTBR, and that’s kinda the response I’ve gotten so far.<\/p>\n

So- ladies… Why don’t you want to race singlespeed? It’s fun. There’s less stuff to break and less shifting to worry about. If something is too steep to ride, you just walk. No big deal. Try it. Race it. Get obsessed like I have. Let me know if you’re interested in Fool’s Gold & we’ll talk to Namrita.<\/p>\n

Edit- as an aside, if you ladies were to race it SS, what gear would you use? I was thinking 32×20, but I’ve got options…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
