Ireland won the right to host the 2011 singlespeed world championship at the 2010 edition in Rotorua, New Zealand. On Monday, organizers announced a specific venue and date for next year's race. The Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trail, located on the borders of counties Limerick, Tipperary and Cork, will host an estimated 500 competitors from more than 30 countries around the world. The Sports Academy International, with the support of Shannon Development, is putting on the event on Saturday, August 27.
The Singlespeed World Championship (SSWC) is an annual event. It is only open to bicycles with a single gear ratio. Those bicycles can be either singlespeeds or fixies. Most of the bicycles used in these races are mountain bikes. However, many people take part in the race on cyclo-cross bicycles, racing bicycles and bicycles defying easy categorization. Each year, the winners are branded by a tattoo.

Should be good fun
