Afterwards, please carpool vehicles to top, there is VERY LIMITED parking. Or, ride back to Boulder via Boulder Canyon or Magnolia - Warning - the descent near the bottom of Magnolia is very steep, be careful.
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 and the Shelf Rd. If you are a less serious racer, the Mt bike has more gears for the VERY steep portions of Magnolia and the Shelf 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).
