Portland Oregon will play host to the inaugural World Championship event of Single Speed Cyclocross.
The Portland Single Speed Collective (PSSC) dutifully presents the Official UnOfficial World Championship event for single speed cyclocross racers. Held in tandem with a Cyclocross Crusade race (www.crosscrusade.com), the SSCXWC is a two-day event including a time trial qualifier on Saturday and the Grand Boucle on Sunday. Festivities to follow each day. Vanilla Bicycles has signed up as a major sponsor. The mens world champion will win a custom hand built Vanilla Bicycle www.vanillabicycles.com / www.speedvagen.com The Womens World Champion will win a hand built Ahearne Bicycle www.ahearnecycles.com
Sunday 11 November 2007: The Big day. The Championships will be a one hour cross race in the notorious Estacada Timber Bowl. Mud guaranteed, rain highly likely, more spectators than a Belgian Cross race and almost as much beer. Laps will roll through the beer garden and crowds will be heckling. Only one man and one woman will leave as the Single Speed Cyclocross World Champion.
