....funny, I just looked, and pics 3,4,5,6 and 7 are all singlespeeds.
There's a few single speed/fixed riders whom I ride with and these guys/gals can hang on both the steep hillclimbs and long road rides we do. I chalk it up to youth and still healthy knees! Last week I did over 100 miles of climbing last week and I have to take a couple days off just for them to heal from the punishment!(Singlespeed) The answer is "both." There is a separate category for s.s. (one men, one women), but some people choose to race in the normal cats with a s.s. bike anyway... usually some of the strongest folks. And no, that mud tears up drivetrains regularly. My wife's, for example... just replaced everything a week ago, which was a nice upgrade.
16" in 8 hours last night. And it hasn't stopped all day. I should've just worked from home, but this looked like a fun challenge... now I'll probably have to leave the bike at work and walk 2 miles uphill home...
