Big weekend for Specialized

Ned Overend won the Single Speed National title. (the big race, not the old man’s race) And he did it on a Specialized Rockhopper 29er! (mid range aluminium frame)

I took this pic at the Specialized 2011 bike launch in Keystone, CO. Not quite sure how he went up that mountain at that altitude with 1 gear?!? (I needed all 20 gears) Maybe that’s why they a call him “Deadly Nedly” or “The Lung.”

One of my favourite Ned quotes: “I only stretch when I’m injured”

Todd Wells took the Specialized 29er theme further and won US Nationals in Granby CO on the new S-works Epic 29er. WaytogoTodd!!! Follow Todd’s entertaining blog here.
