Cross Crusade 7 and SSCXWC - Steam Powered

Portland, Oregon - Apparently the Halloween Races in Astoria was not enough insanity for this years 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 womens A racers and the prize for unofficial womens single speed cyclocross world champion. Mens 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 mens 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.

Hi!

I loved the video and the song, but I'm confused: I've seen a lot bikes with rear derailleurs in it. The one at 0:21 has gears too.
