So yesterday we hosted the Czech National Single Speed Championships 2009/Mistrovství České Republiky v Single Speedu 2009 here on the edge of Prague. It was a snowy 27km lollipop loop, with over 22km of forest single and doubletrack. i had haphazardly marked the twisting trail 2 days before in the fresh, and several racers got a bit turned around, but I don’t think anyone got too lost, or left out in the woods to freeze (we’ll probably have to wait a few days to see on that one!)

The weather was cold but the trail was a good challenge and it seemed like everyone had a great time. We had 24 riders start and most finished Plus we had about 8 photographers. We’re waiting for more photos to show up, but click through for the ones we’ve linked so far.

I managed a respectable? top ten finish, and managed to drink a few, so all was well. Veronika survived as the chief of support staff, managing to not have our kid at the race in the -11°C (12°F) weather.

Damien was one of our sponsors, so so official race t-shirts will be making their way stateside this spring!
