Darkhorse 40 updates

July is upon us! seems like we just finished up SSAP.
the waitlist has been closed now for a while. registrations are locked and loaded. numbers have been assigned and all the paperwork is in order. if you have to cancel at this point we can't do much for ya. sorry about that. again thanks for registering early and supporting our event!!

we have got a lot of cool stuff coming your way this year. same great stuff as in years past but with a little extra spin for the 10th annual! can't believe we are on number 10.

the course will most likely be the same as last year barring any kind of trail damage we need to avoid. the Darkhorse crew will be hard at work for the next month ensuring that the trails are clean and in excellent riding order come race day. if you see us out working stop and say hi.

i will post up a  map and GPS file soon.

thats all for now. more info soon!!

SSAP video evidence!

big thanks to our new pal Manny for putting this together!!!

SSAP 2012

the 4th annual Singlespeed-a-polooza is in the books!
many thanks to all who came out to play in the woods. after a couple of monsoon years the weather gods smiled on us and it was a gorgeous day. little chilly in the am, like at 4am, when we got up....but it got really nice later.
i am still decompressing. it takes a few days to get back to normal, or at least whatever normal is for me...
so many good people, good vibes, and good times!!

again we can't thank you enough for coming out and joining in our little race party!
now we turn out attention to the 40........the 10th 40....holy crap.....

SSAP map and gps file!

oh no! a map!! click to make big!

that's right folks. the DH crew has been sampling what the forest of stewart has to offer and come up with a course... much deliberation and beverage liberation was used to make sure that this course is sweeter than a jewel encrusted unicorn with a horn filled with PBR!

some details....
4 mile prolog.
11.75 mile laps

4 mile prolog + 11.75 mile lap + 11.75 mile lap = oh so much singlespeedy goodness!!

gps file located here....


so get out and check it!
race day is coming quick.
check back here for more details as they become available

2012!

holy crap! 2012...really...
so we have like 12 more months till the apocolypse! yikes, and bummer...i guess...
well looks like we better make some great bike race while we still can.
yeah its finally a little cold out and you probably aren't thinking about racing bikes yet but you should be. you slackers! get on the rollers and get some suffering in!
before you know it hardman season will be upon us. cobbled roads, rain, belguim, frites, and.......for those of us on this side of the pond Singlespeed-a-polooza! lose the gears, harden the F up and get ready... its coming soon.
4th annual, who would have thunk it. seemed like such a ridiculous idea and well, it still is a little ridiculous......

after that well its time to prepare for the real deal...... the 10th Annual Darkhorse 40!
holy smokes, yeah its been 10 years. we got some special stuff up our sleeve for this year. don't ask what cause we ain't telling! its gonna be super sweet uber awesomeness and all that and then some....trust me!

so check back often, call the shop and harass the boys, or search the interwebs, the answer is out there. when you find it you will know....or maybe you won't but either way it will kill some time till race season!

Thanks for making the 9th annual Darkhorse 40 a blast!

thanks to all the racers who came out yesterday and made the 9th annual 40 a huge success!!
we appreciate all the kind words and hope you had as much fun racing as we had hosting!!

special thanks to all our volunteers and the EMT's!!

hope to see everybody again next year!
