|  Downieville pics and writeups | francis Sep 11, 2002 1:57 PM | | Here's one of the soulcraft brothers Yuri Hauswald coming in with a time of 2 hours 7 minutes and 23 seconds. He came in second to Anthony Anderson
Uglydog, what's your time last year?
So 33 singlespeeders represented on this ultra-tough course with 4500 feet of climbing. And there were many SSers in the lead pack! Most of them were on white Soulcraft bikes.
Check out the streamers on this bad boy |
|  present from the mtbr ss board | francis Sep 11, 2002 2:16 PM | | RobSS - did the SS cross-country race and looked good at the top of the 8 mile 3500 foot climb. Flatted bad in the downhill. bummer!
Derek - finished with 3:05 and said 'man, that's just too effin hard'!
Andy of Team Hamana - Finished at right around 3 hours and had a better time than last year
Font9a - (new bay area rider from houston) - we found him wandering around town with his buddy doing an RV tour of the biking hotspots western US. "is there some kind of event happening here in town this weekend?"
raymond - brought Jericho SS and had a grand time on a downhill run.
Josh Ogle - raced a jericho SS, hung over, on the downhill race and kicked ass... 55 minutes
Roger - too busy with a bachelor party. but his wife Amanda shows up and kicks ass with a time of 2:50

|  and of course... | francis Sep 11, 2002 2:30 PM | | terminaut - with his custom breezer cruiser, did 4 downhill runs. One with me where he was amazingly fast... with only a rear coaster brake and no front shock. his race downhill run was at 1 hour and he won. Never mind that he sabotaged the bikes of the other two competitors. Winner takes all baby!!! |

I really enjoyed myself, but a big part of me wanted to be in Dville! |
