Genesis-sponsored rider Paul Errignton takes on all sorts of crazy challenges on his singlespeed bike. He popped by the Singletrack Office to tell us about the bike that will see him taking on the Arrowhead 135 marathon in early 2010.
The Arrowhead Winter Ultra is a non-profit human powered ultramarathon on bike, foot or skis, covering 135 miles across the Arrowhead Region of Northern Minnesota from International Falls near the Canadian border to Tower, MN.

good man, I not in week on monday though, so if it’s going to be then, give me a shout first
just to echo Paul’s comments about making the most of time between jobs, did similar myself last year with a less scary race at the end of it. Great experience to find out how fast you really can go and how far. Life has changed track since then so really glad I did it.
Best of luck in arrowhead and at the Yak – are you single speeding the Himalaya’s???????
btw – make sure you come back alive
