Expert  618  |  Subject: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike...So what are the opinions of those who have raced Harriman, ridden up in Harriman or just feel the need to throw in an opinion on the issue of a Road bike or Tri bike in a Harriman Tri? Eric J |

Member 37 | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... which races? ive done some sprints there. bike course is fairly up and down, with one long climb. ive only ridden harriman on a road bike so cant offer a comparison. but i did pass a lot of tri bikes on the big climb. |

Master 1410  White Plains NY | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... Tri bike. I did 3 of em there this past summer and there are enough long flats to justify staying in the aero position. |

Expert 618 | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... I actually ride there frequently. I live 15 miles from there but have never done any of the Harriman tri's and have always ridden Harriman on my roadie. Guess its time to get the Guru up there... Eric J |

Champion 4942 Richmond, VA | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... I live a few minutes in the other direction from Harriman and haven't yet made it out there. At this point, I'll vote Tri bike for no other reason then all I have is a Tri bike and I'm not able to ride a road bike out there... |

Member 15 Westchester, NY | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... There is allot of climbing that would be great for a road bike, but the downhill and flats is such that you would get great benefit from the aero position if you can manage good control on your tri-bike. |

Expert 618 | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... Control I got. I've done those downhills enough times to know how fast you can get going. Just so much uphill.... Eric J |

Member 15 Westchester, NY | Subject: RE: Harriman Tri's; Tri bike vs Road bike... Wondering if anyone is planning on doing the Half on the same day. Have been considering it since I think its a great Hill workout. I am doing IM lake Placid and could use whatever hill training there is. |
