Hello Ultra Cycling Friends!

If you're curious about fixed gear cycling, here's a whole bunch of
info that might be of interest! I've collected all these links and such
for the Fixed Gear page on our Furnace Creek 508 website.

Also, we offer a fixed gear-specific email newsletter via our email
newsletter system. We're pleased to report that 295 subscribers have
specifically signed up for this interest topic so far. That's awesome!
If you want to sign up, click http://www.adventurecorps.com/lists.html

We are also very pleased to report that we know of four riders who are
training to participate in the first ever Fixed Gear Division at
Furnace Creek 508 this fall on October 16-28! Kudos to them!

If you haven't been to the Fixed Gear Page on the Furnace Creek 508
website lately (http://www.the508.com/fixedgear/), here's what we've
got there:
