T-minus 7 hours and 40 minutes until rollout of SSWC2006. Yes that's right, reporting to you from lovely Stockholm, Sweden, in just a short amount of time a mass of singlespeeders from around the world will leave the local bar throughout the town of 800,000 to the trails that await our carcasses. The trails are much more technical than I'd expected. If tree roots were a sellable commodity, I think Sweden would be the most wealthy country in the world. If any of you though State College, Pennsylvania offered a difficult course last yéar with rock garden after rock garden, imagine almost as many rocks with twice the amount of roots. It's enough to make a seasoned singletrack slut feel out of place.

Quote of the night came from one Jacquie Phelan, "I think it's illegal to be ugly in this town". It's late right now and I'll just leave it at that. More reports from blondeville later. Hey Do.
