Thanks to All!

Thanks to all who came out. We had almost 80, which is a new record.

The weather ended up cooperating with blue skies except for some mist right before the start.

Trails were 50 percent good and 50 percent sketchy. New wet leaves and a bit of grease in Gosling. A big tree down in Gosling in a bad spot on a downhill -- glad nobody got hurt.

The keg went quick, as well as the supplemental beverages. If the event keeps growing like this, I'll definitely need more beer for next year.

Thanks to Bell's Brewery, Aberdeen Bike and Outdoors and Rick Plite with Founder's for additional quality refreshments.

Thanks to those who schwagged me with the Day of the Dead chi-chi.

Thanks to Jeff Buerman for bringing out the Scott Bikes Factory Bus.

Thanks to everyone who "dressed the part" -- Gorilla Man, Skeleton Jen, Ace from the Kiss Army, Wedge Man, etc.

Thanks to the MDNR Pinckney Rec Management for there support.

Thanks to Eric and Heather for the chili and additional beer after.

PottoFest XX tomorrow, 10am Poto Silver Lake Trailhead. Old School x 2.

See everyone else at Iceman. Remember Bell's Brewery MTB Team Sunset on the Season Party, Loading Dock, Saturday Night, The Orbitsuns will be Hauling Ass.

Trail Conditions Should Be Good

7:30am Saturday

Rain has been done in Dexter for a couple hours now. Since it is very windy and lots of leaves down now, I expect the trail will pretty dry by noon.

Come on out!

Good schwag provided by Aberdeen Bike and Outdoors.

Price = Free

Weather supposed to be 50 deg at noon event time, rain to stop before sun comes up Saturday, windy so trail should be dry and firm.

Question #8

What if it rains?

It won't. That already happened last year.

No matter. PSSWC happens rain or shine. This is singlespeeding -- chains don't suck.

PSSWC FAQ Page: Question #7

Question #7

Man, there is only one SSWC event each year. This year's was in Durango. Are you trying to rip-off that event?

This event is not billed as the SSWC, it is the Poto Singlespeed World Championship, or, "PSSWC". I'm sure that other event is slick and all. But, the PSSWC really has nothing to do with a gathering of a group of trustafarians from the coastal and intermountain regions of the U.S. who are getting together to cross dress, drink PBR, eat bacon and measure the lengths of there collective mustaches. We just aren't that cool.

Question #6

Will PSSWC patches again be available for purchase?

Yes, new 2009 iron-on patches will be available for a nominal fee (which will be the TBD per unit cost of the patch). As always, individuals bringing Chief Potawatomi offerings of pan de muerto, sugar skulls, calaveras catrina figurines or Mexican marigolds will receive a TBD discount to be applied against their patch purchase.

Question #5

Do I need a USCF or UCI license in order to participate?

No. No license is necessary in order to participate. However, if you are willing to bring your USCF or UCI license to the event and let Chief Potawatomi burn it before the event as a part of a ritualistic ceremony, you will be given a free PSSWC 2009 iron-on event patch.
