Dutch SS championship


Last sunday every self respecting singlespeeder found his or her way to Soesterberg. That was the location for the 2007 NKSS. It was a nice gathering of people from all over the country. Jelle (Singlespeed central) and his familly had put is all together and it all went of like clockwork. After 75 minutes of racing on the 1.1 km course the winners were crowned. This year there where prices in 3 catagories: Women, Old men and young men. The discussion as to where the boundry between young and old had to be drawn was held during the ceremony, in SS style of course. One thing that was noticed by most riders was the presence of several elite and amateur mtb-ers that had converted there race sleds into SS bikes. This heralds the beginning of the maturity of SS in Holland. Some of these riders even consider riding some 'normal' races on there SS-ed bikes. We all hope to see you next year!!
