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.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>REGISTRATION</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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 ----> <a href="https://www.bikereg.com/sskc17">https://www.bikereg.com/sskc17</a></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<b>WEATHER</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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 <a href="http://urbantrailco.com/">Urban Trail Co.</a><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>REFUNDS</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you find out you cant make it or that you just hate us too much to attend, you have up until<b> June 1st</b> to get your money back. Between <b>June 1st and July 1st</b>, you may only transfer your entry to someone else. After July 1st, you may do nothing but feel regret about what could have been.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>FOOD</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will be BBQ of sorts because Kansas City. Included with race entry. Probably some sort of veggie option too I imagine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>CAMPING</b></div>
<div>
None this year. Might look into host houses if there is enough demand. If you need assistance finding somewhere to stay holler at us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>PREPARTY</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Preparty will be centralized around the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/W39thKC/">West 39th Street District</a>. 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.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all I can think of for now. Bye.</div>

<br />
<b>WHERE</b><br />
<br />
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.<br />

Here are some details that you might need to know:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<strong>DIRECTIONS TO SWOPE</strong><br />Swope trails are at the intersection of Oldham Rd and Oakwood Rd in Kansas City, Missouri. 6922 Oakwood Rd. seems to work for GPS purposes. You will see a “Camp Lake At The Woods” sign at the entrance. Head past the open gates and up the hill. Registration, start, finish and party zone will all be in the general area of the Hogan building. At the top of the hill.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<strong>PARKING</strong><br />There will be parking at the top near registration/start/finish. Be mindful of your parking! There will be limited space so don’t park like a jackass. Also, because of the limited space, please leave your trailers and RVs at home for this event. There is additional parking at the Camp Lake of the Woods entrance at the bottom of the hill, but this should only be used if parking is full at the top.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<strong>REGISTRATION</strong><br />Registration is completely closed. There will be no on-site registration. Please don’t ask us if you can sneak in your buddies at the last second. We will say no and it will be awkward.</div>

The gate will be closing at dusk, but there will be an alternate gate opened that you can enter and leave through. The road is a one way only, so please use caution while driving the wrong way up this street.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Registration was closed but due to increased demand, we are opening up 20 extra spots tonight at midnight. After this, we go to a waiting list. Get your life together and register!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>REFUNDS</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are offering full refunds for folks who find out they cannot make it up until June 1st. After June 1st, there will be no refunds. We will send you a t-shirt and some swag, and thank you for your donation to the KC trails. We apologize if this hurts your butt, but by then your registration money will already be going towards permits, insurance, t-shirts, kazoos, questionable porn, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>RAIN DATE</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In case mother nature decides to be a dick, we have a rain date set for August 15th. If both August 1st and August 15th get rained out, then we will have a gigantic pub crawl in the rain while we show you the city.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There will not be refunds if we get double screwed on the main date and rain date. Again, your money will go to the trails, and you'll still get some cool shit in the mail.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>CAMPING</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There will be camping available at Swope Park on Friday night July 31st and Saturday night August 1st. Camping will be primitive, with toilets only and presumably no hookups. Space will probably be limited so we'd appreciate you leaving your RVs and huge trailers at home. Camping is included in your race fees. Please familiarize yourself with Swope Park before you decide to camp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>SPECTATORS</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The more spectators, the better. Everyone's invited to come out. Bring your fold out chairs and coolers. Swope Park is beautiful and has many spots ripe for hanging out and doing beer/bacon handups. So invite your friends and loved ones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIZES</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
1st place men's</div>

This is the official blog of Single Speed Kansas City.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-The race will be at <a href="http://swopetrails.blogspot.com/">The Swope Park Mountain Bike Trails</a>, which are easily Google-able and will be easy to find for most of you. If you're too stupid to use Google, thats OK buddy. We will be posting a detailed map and directions here in the near future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-The race is on August 1st. We also have a rain date reserved for August 15th in case we get dumped on. If we decide to postpone until the 15th we will try to give you as much notice as possible, but you know how that goes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Race time will be 10am. It may be moved earlier if it's supposed to be ridiculously hot, which it certainly might be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Registration opens up tonight at midnight. <a href="https://www.bikereg.com/sskc15">CLICK HERE FOR BIKEREG PAGE</a>. $35 gets you a race entry, a SSKC15 t-shirt and probably some free <a href="http://www.newbelgium.com/Home.aspx">New Belgium</a> beer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Pre-party and packet pickup will be on Friday night, July 31st, and will more than likely be at <a href="http://www.grinderspizza.com/">Grinders</a> in the Crossroads district. They have a huge back patio with room for bike parking, good beer selection, awesome food and horrible service. Urban rides, both of the pavement and singletrack variety will leave from there, or you can just hang out and get drunk/fat with us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Swope Park has around 15 miles of trails. We will more than likely have all racers do two laps.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-After party at the <a href="http://bierstation.com/">Bier Station</a>, which is very close to the trails. Short pours, pinkies out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Singlespeed mountain bikes only. One gear. If you bring your geared bike, we will convert it for you. We will do a bad job because we are shitty mechanics, and your chain will definitely fail mid-race.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Costumes are encouraged. Fun is encouraged. Encouragement is encouraged.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats it for now. Lots more info to come in the future. Thad's in love with the coco.</div>
