The latest news:
• It's been a cold start to July in Rotorua. No snow, like this time two years ago, but some big, big frosts.

Rotorua photographer, Graeme R Murray was out in the forest early yesterday.
Check out G's wonderful world of frost...

(please note: October is springtime in New Zealand - it should be a lot warmer than this by then...hopefully...).
• Graeme also sent through a link to photographer, Tim Kolln's, remarkable gallery of Tour riders. The Peloton...
Graeme is hoping to do something similar with all of you at registration!
• Download the SSWC event poster - print it, share it...

Designed by Gaz from Nzo, who's also designed a unique Soigneur NZ, 1-off, 100% merino SSWC riding jersey.

 

Some housekeeping:
• Love it or hate it - we're still not sure - but we're using facebook.
Hook up with us for regular updates (you can always bin it after the event).

Nice to hear from some of you (like our friends from the Philippines, a couple of days ago) via facebook messages.
And a big shout-out to Ko from Japan - he'll be here in October and has been inspired to run the Japan Singlespeed Champs in 2011!

• Because of venue size, friends, family and partners wanting to attend the after-match function must have a Party Animal ticket.
• The wearing of team-style lycra will be actively discouraged - unless you have a very good reason.

And a note from your mother doesn't count - don't say we didn't warn you, OK?

Exceptions: particularly nasty, retro, thongs etc...
 

• SSWC10 is powered by Rotorua bike shop and bespoke bike builder, Kiwibikes, and our great crew of friendly locals.
