Subject: RE: Still on fence with bike choice for this courseAwesome result!!!
I was going to answer road bike... Those descends are fairly technical and you should be able to go downhill that much faster on a road bike that you can make up the loss you'll see on flatter terrain.
I just did a race in MD where I used my road bike. Compared to last year when I used my tri bike, I went quite a bit faster. The race is pretty much a long descent (not technical though ) followed by a u-turn and nothing by climbing. |
