Press Release: 12 & 6 Solo Hour World Championships
World Championship Colors
The 12 & 6 Hours of Capitol Punishment is set to host the 12 & 6 Hour Solo World Championships. ”I’m very happy I chose my own race to host the world championships.” says Trey Wilson, race director, ”I worked very hard the other night dreaming this up.”
There is an official 24 Hour World Championships, but no recognized 12 Hour. Wilson is not sure why, but states “there should be, the 12 hour racers do half the work as the 24 hour racers and the 6 hour racers do half of what the 12 hour racers do.” The UCI had no comment about the lack of a 12 hour world championship but did warn Wilson of possible fines and no hope of hosting a UCI event. Wilson replied “I’ll take my chances”.
And so he will. On June 23, 2012 racers will compete in the 12 & 6 Hours of Capitol Punishment. While most racers will be battling it out in their respected categories for medals, beer and bragging rights, the 12 & 6 hour soloist will be having the race of their lives for the coveted rainbow jersey. (Wilson has confirmed there will actually be jerseys awarded to the winners.)
The 12 & 6 Hour World Championship categories include: solo male, solo female, solo male masters, solo female masters and solo single speed.
