Single chainring options

Cork calling...
We've now got a Munster Cyclocross League, and I was intending to do some of the races. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go according to plan (lack of fitness, lack of time, illness), and when I finally looked forward to having some fun in the mud, my bike was no longer up to it. My drive train is quite worn out and I probably need a new rear mech and inner chainring (in addition to chain and cassette). However, I'm still keen to give it a go next winter. Since I've been having problems with the front mech anyway and only really use the small chainring in races, maybe it's time to switch to a single chainring option.
I'd probably need a 40T chainring and a rear mech that can cope with a 32T sprocket.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Astrid
