Cross Crusade 7 & SSCXWC - Steam Powered

Watch Video & Read Story

iPod/Downloadable /mpeg4 Version
Portland, Oregon – Apparently the Halloween Races in Astoria was not enough insanity for this year’s Cross Crusaders. After some excellent traditional cyclocross racing at Portland International Raceway the bike-fun crowd went wild for single speed.

Thousands of spectators watched as Sue Butler took away honors for the women’s A racers and the prize for unofficial women’s single speed world champion. Men’s SSCXWC honors were awarded to Drew MacKenzie who hails from the Great White North. Prizes included a Vanilla SpeedVagen, a Pereira Cycles custom frame not to mention gold Speedos and required championship tatoos. Also, Raleigh Rainier frame went to the Sit-Up Champ.

Special mention goes to Ryan Trebon of Bend who won the men’s A race, and the regular single speed race. Trebon, a top cyclocross racer, was told he had to win all three races in order to take the SSCXWC. He may have been handicapped on the raceway, as well.

The song “Steam Powered” was written especially for this race.

This was found at YouTube. Not sure the details of the video since it was posted in a language I can't seem to translate. But check out all the trick bikes, recumbents, and interesting competitions.

I especially like the tandem with trailer races. There are some definitely fun but long lost ideas that could be introduced to the 21st Century.
