Team Gates Carbon Drive flew to San Francisco this weekend for Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships. Qualifiers took place on Saturday and required riders to complete various tasks, or “Feats of Strength,” from a hill sprint to a dollar bill grab to a beach run. Everyone who finished in the top half of the qualifying events gets to race in the championships on Sunday. Below are some shots of the action and scene in SF, where belt drives were featured on many bikes in addition to the Gates squad’s. Taylor Jung, Taylor Nye, Pete Thompson, Mitch Westall, Jesse Swift andCristina Begy made it to SF for the weekend of fun, which featured members of River City Bicycles’ belt drive team as well.
