I was visiting them in Northfield and some punks on MX bikes harassed us while we were out riding. He followed them to their house and set them straight. I was seriously impressed. Great guy, and Linda too. Dan really is great with the tuff kids. I was visiting them in Northfield and some punks on MX bikes harassed us while we were out riding.

Can't beat the feeling of railing corners and slogging through slop/sticks/rocks/racers knowing you won't drop your chain and won't get a derailleur caught on something. I rode the SS category all last year but it's now turning into a warm-up race for the Cat A/Pros so I've been having fun with it in the Cat C's I've also raced lots of Short Track on a SS and did my first XC Mtb race this year on a SS (finished 3rd). And lastly, you can't beat SS for commuting...it's quiet, no cables, a lighter overall bike, etc. -buddhabelly Singlespeed is a great way to go for ‘cross.
