For the first time since Stan Nice’s legendary appearance in 2016, the Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships (SSCXWC) return to the United States this weekend in Santa Clara, Utah on Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23.
Located near the mountain biking destination of St. George, Santa Clara was host city chosen by a group of Beehive Staters led by Ryan Miller. The group traveled Tournai, Belgium last year and successfully won the opportunity to host the annual off-beat event. Utah’s Gro Promotions is directing the event.
