WTB Riders Out for Blood at SSWC

Mark Weir, Rachel Lloyd, Jason Moeschler. These WTB-riders aren’t single speeders. They don’t even own single speeds. But when the Single Speed World Championships came to Napa, California—Team WTB’s home turf—Weir, Moeschler and Lloyd converted their everyday bikes into one speeds and set their sights on winning.

When the dust settled, the WTB team achieved nearly all of its goals. WTB/Proman rider Rachel Lloyd destroyed the women’s field, easily taking the win. Weir crossed the line seconds after WTB-sponsored team Giant rider Carl Decker. Moeschler placed fifth.

More than 400 racers descended on Napa’s Skyline park for the event. The race started with a lemans-style run to the bikes and three laps on a rugged course that included steep climbs and steeper descents. Crazy costumes, wild antics and immense heckling were ever present. Both Lloyd and Decker both won SSWC tattoos. Weir and Moeschler stood out as much as riders clad in elaborate costumes, as both riders chose to ride “all mountain” suspension bikes for the occasion. Weir rode a six-inch travel Santa Cruz Nomad and Moeschler raced a Blur LT.
