![]() What does this have to do with SSWC? Who cares, I’m asking the questions and was just curious. It’s really a shame, because we all wanted to go there.īut is it really a shame when you have single speeders in Stockholm, Sweden? Singlespeeders that boast excellent trails, sound fairly organized (like it or not), understand we all just want to show up and ride, and have the manpower to make this thing rock? How cool would that be? What happened to New Zealand? The folks from New Zealand basically told me they weren’t organized for the event and to be careful with our decision. These folks have been behind Sweden SS champs in 20. They’ve “masterminded” an event called Tour de Retard, which was a 100km fixed/SS stage race to celebrate the old Tour de France days. They’re also involved in the local freeride scene and ran an e-zine for about 4 years. They’re well connected within the local bike industry, the local urban life and have trails within riding distance from most of the hotels/hostels/campsites in town. These folks understand the importance of beer, heckling and donuts along the course. They also understand the importance of this being a truly international event, making fair registration for equal representation from all countries. They left us with no doubt that this will rock. ![]() Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and it’s a very bike friendly city. ![]() ![]() There are bike lanes established throughout the city and it’s easy to get around. ![]()
