You'll be climbing like a mountain goat with a setup like that.  |
You know, I actually have a very nice 'cross bike. It came with the 46/30 and I swapped in a mountain bike triple. What was really cool is that my 600 shifters are able to hit all three.
If it starts looking ugly before the ride, I may suit up the 'cross bike with slick tires and just take it. But here's to TRAINING for the event and taking the road rocket!
Go baby go!
