| Mtb or Road bike ? |
There have been a lot of questions as to what kind of bike to use. Honestly, it's up to you.
The road bike will be faster in Boulder Canyon and at the top of the course on Peak to Peak
Hwy. If you are a less serious racer, the Mt bike has more gears for the VERY steep portions of
Magnolia Rd and will handle better on the dirt portions of Magnolia. Its your call.
But remember, if you are using the mtb please remove the bar ends or turn them so they are not pointing up or forward (ACA Rules). |
