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.
