2009 Georgia State Single Speed Championships at Hawks Creek Farm - Athens, GA
Talk about a fun weekend outside of Athens. Two days of racing and enjoying the sport we love most. Fresh took it back to the old school this weekend, Greg Lemond 'Giro' helmets we well represented and taking the Freshness to a whole new level. The Purest, the Single Speeders' - laid it out there at the Georgia State Single Speed Championships at Hawks Creek Farm. Three different events were held - a short track race, a night-time time trail, and then Sunday was the grand finale with the Georgia State Single Speed Belt on the line. Riders, supporters, and volunteers enjoyed some great racing, camaraderie, and beer toasting with friends. We battled rain and some serious flies but we lived to share these Fresh Ryding experiences. Check out the pics and let Fresh know what you think.
Cheers,
Dubbie Fresh

Dirty Spokes - Fort Yargo 6 and 12hr Race
We had a great showing at the 2nd Dirty Spokes Race of the year. More than 300 racers came out to Fort Yargo to race on Saturday. The course saw a lot of rain on Friday evening/Saturday morning. At the start we had good weather, unfortunately it didn't hold up. The rain made for some interesting conditions to say the least. Fort Yargo has a lot of rooty sections that are filled with quick/intense - drop then climb whoops. These low areas were just holding water as the rains picked up throughout the afternoon - riders were blasting through hub deep puddles in these whoop sections. Climbing was no easier matter either as the riders rear wheels failed to hook up - sliding all over the place when climbing certain sections. It was slow wet racing but everybody was smiling and having fun on their bikes.
The adverse conditions made for a good day of wrenching as brake pads, cables, and drive trains were in constant need of attention. At one point I think me and Dan replaced like 5 or 6 brake pad sets in 30 minutes. Fresh Bike Service was pumped to help out again at another great Dirty Spokes event. Thanks for all the fans, racers, and volunteers.
We want wish Tim the best, and will keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
