SSKC17 - SCHEDULE

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

FRIDAY

7-10 pm - PRE PARTY AND PACKET PICKUP
Rosedale Arch - Park Drive, Kansas City KS 66103


Free beer from New Belgium and Rozarks Singletrack, maybe a chopemup ride too.  No food but there are plenty of restaurants within a short riding distance.  Bring bikes and trail lights.  If you can't make it on Friday, you can pick your packet up Saturday before the race.  But it would be nice to see you.

T-Shirts will also be available for purchase at pre-party.

SATURDAY

8-10 AM - PRE-RACE
Blue River Parkway trails - soccer trailhead - 12320 Blue River Rd.  Kansas City, MO  64146


Big ass parking lot.  Unsure of which side of big ass parking lot we will be on, but once you get there it will all make sense.

Anybody who didn't get their packet Friday can get it between 8 and 10 on Saturday.  There will be iced coffee, whiskey and donuts.  There will be three portapottys out there but unlike last year there is no indoor amenities, so plan accordingly.

10:15ish AM - RACE TIME

Mass start.  20ish miles.  Some dirt, some water, some bugs.

1:30ish PM - EVERYONE PROBABLY DONE WITH RACE NOW

2 PM - BEER AND FOOD

New Belgium hooking us up with a few dozen cases of beer.  Food will be LCs BBQ.  Food budget is limited this year and I'm not going to get overly concerned with the "per person" meal plans that most places have.  Just gonna buy a few troughs of meat and let you go nuts.

2:30 PM - PRIZE CEREMONY

3 PM - ODDITY CYCLES SKILL COURSE AND 8 LUMENS FEATS OF BULLSHIT

Win some custom handlejobbers from Burnsey by being the fastest through his mobile obstacle circus.  Preferably on your '89 mongoose with dirt drops and roller cams.

Then we will have other silly games that will decide who gets to host Single Speed Kansas City next year.  SPOILER ALERT its gonna be Kansas City.

5ish PM - FIN.  GO DRINK MORE OR GO TO BED.  OR GO SEE PRIMUS.  OR RIDE MORE TRAILS.

SSKC17 - Info dump

We are slowly getting our poop in a group over here at the SSKC headquarters and things are starting to fall in place.  Here are some things you'll need to know, some things you might like to know and surely a few things you never wanted to know.

REGISTRATION

Capped at 150 spots.  I think there are 120 registered riders so far.  THERE WILL BE NO ON-SITE REGISTRATION.  The roster is set a week before race day and is not to be fucked with.  Click here to register ----> https://www.bikereg.com/sskc17

WEATHER

Kansas City trails have lots of dirt that gets wet and ruined easily.  If the trails are wet, the race will be cancelled.  There will be no rain date this year.  If it rains the night before and everyone is already in town and ready to ride/party, then we will do a big unofficial race/group ride on gravel and bum trails or something.  No refunds will be given in case of a rain-out and all money not already allocated for race stuff will be donated to Urban Trail Co.

REFUNDS

If you find out you cant make it or that you just hate us too much to attend, you have up until June 1st to get your money back.  Between June 1st and July 1st, you may only transfer your entry to someone else.  After July 1st, you may do nothing but feel regret about what could have been.

FOOD

Will be BBQ of sorts because Kansas City.  Included with race entry.  Probably some sort of veggie option too I imagine.

CAMPING
None this year.  Might look into host houses if there is enough demand.  If you need assistance finding somewhere to stay holler at us.

PREPARTY

Preparty will be centralized around the West 39th Street District.  You can pick up your registration packet at one of the bars, then feel free to hang out, get food from one of many restaurants, drink at another bar, go ride singletrack down the road or all of the above.  For those who cant make it out Friday night, your registration can be picked up between 8AM and 10AM day of race.


That's all I can think of for now.  Bye.

Here's a bunch of stuff you might like to know about Single Speed Kansas City 2016:

WHERE

Swope again.  This time with the new Phase 6 trails open.  These trails kick ass even in their unfinished state. so I can imagine they will kick even more ass when they are trimmed and beat down.  Use 6599 Oakwood Drive on your GPS to find the trails.
