What event? I'm planning on attending the Almanzo. I've been told that a Cyclocross bike with 700x32 tires should be the best bike for the event.
The Almanzo is a 100 mile dirt road event in Minnesota. Nothing technical and no real hills to speak of, but the surface will punish a smaller tire with a 210 lbs cyclist like me to carry.
Tell us more about the route and event, please.
