Bottoms Up!

We now have Public House on board for our extravaganza! While their fine brew should be savored and enjoyed, we might have to break a few rules and have beer chug call ups. There is nothing like downing a good pint only to follow it up with a start so fast it'll make you see red and want to puke. At least when you are light headed and wobbling you will have a head start and the fine flavor of Public House tickling your tastebuds!

Early packet pickup will take place Friday at the best Brewery in Rolla. If you find yourself in this area before the race please stop by and tell them you are attending the race and appreciate their support.

Stay Tuned

Alright ladies and gents, there will be more info posted on the race and following festivities this weekend. While we iron out the details, stay tuned for a brief rundown on a few of the shenanigans to take place...

Directions to the PARTY!

Look for the big green sign that says Saint James. Turn off I44. If you are coming from the East, turn left next to where the old oak tree used to be. If West, turn towards the barking dog tied to the fence. Once on the main road turn left at the old gas station where the man smoking a pipe usually sits on Thursdays. Go a few miles down the road past the vaccum cleaner museum and turn Right at the sign that says "Hiking Trails". Or you could skip all of this and use the map posted below.

It's official! UFDSSC

The is going to be Missouri's premier single-speed mountain bike race of the year. The race is located in just off I-44 in St. James, MO at the Forest City Mountain Bike Trail. The trails were built from the dirt up by single speeders in collaboration with Ole'man Fuhrmann at Route 66 Bicycles in Rolla, MO. If you know anything about the Fuhrmann8r, you know he likes to go fast, shred sick trails, and have a damn good time while doing it. So you should expect nothing less from this race...

Laps will be will be about 7ish miles, featuring several rocks, and a couple turns, with a recommended gear ratio of 1:4 (not a typo). This isn't your average, "get there, kit up, race, pack up, go home" mountain bike race. There will be festivities BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER, that's right! Music, Beer, Food, and a possible "TAKE A SHOT SHORTCUT" during the race, will highlight the day.

In true single speed fashion there will be sweet shwag and prizes will be given to the top riders in all categories...

...and for you wimpy geared folks not wanting to miss out on this amazing time, we have two words for you: MAGIC. GEAR. This will be a SINGLE SPEED ONLY event. You have your races the rest of the year, so this one is for us. However, don't let that prevent you from coming down and being merry with us, while screaming at the top of your lungs heckling your non-geared friends as they struggle to get on top of their single gear.

More info will be made available as the date gets closer, but you might as well clear that date on your calendar now.
