For awhile I thought single speed racing in Colorado was gaining popularity but last week's results and comparing it to Portland's number makes me wonder what is going on. When comparing participation numbers of the single speed category between Portland's Cross Crusade Series and the Boulder Series the numbers are dramatically different.

Oct 5, 2008, Cross Crusade #1 = 103 finishers!
Sep 26, 2009, Boulder Series #1 = 5 finishers

What are your thoughts?

Yesterday was the first race in the Green Mountain Sports cyclocross series. The course was held in Golden at the Lookout Mountain Youth Services campus. The course had a little of everything from some nice grassy sections to some steep technical sections. The laps were long and I believe in my race we did only 5 or 6 laps. I will have to say that the race was very well run and I look forward to racing the next race in the series.

I thought the course was very well done. There was a good combination of pavement, grass dirt etc. The section that went inside the velodrome was interesting and I think the verdict is still out on that section. Here are a few pictures from the P-1-2 race.
