Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Sadly, the slower mofos just organized the World Championships in the Netherlands in 2008. Apparently they did not invite you? No worries though, next WC seems to be in Italy, 2010. Go for it!
