Adding the World's 1st Single-Speed DH race contributes to the excitement!Downhill Mike was stoked to say "Sponsors have been showing a tremendous amount of support, and we are expecting this event to be more like a Interbike Outdoor Demo, but with competitive racing!"
The official event website:
www.downhillmike.com has been updated constantly with everything you will need to know about this Championship Event.
1 new non USA Cycling Category has just been added to the Presidents Day Weekend list of competitive festivities:
Canfield Brothers presents the Worlds 1st Open Single-Speed DH. Important: Be sure to check out the FAQ tab on the event website for specific details for this unique category.
A note from Chris Canfield:
I'll have rear Derailleur cables at sign-up for anyone registering for this- That way you will not need any replacement parts to find after the race to convert back.
I will also be on hard to help people convert over-
Really easy-
1- pull out your derailleur cable.
2- cut it about 6" long.
3- Run the cable with the metal stop end-(the ball in the shifter) into your derailleur.
4- Run the cable like normal and lock it on the gear you want.
That's It!
After the race- just replace the cable with the new one from registration and you're back to normal.
As of this update event t-shirts are still available for those that pre-register.
The main dh event is USA Cycling sanctioned and will be the 1st qualifier in 2011 for the Nationals. Then we have a super d race. 4 different races on Presidents Day Weekend at Bootleg.
See ya at the race!
