But it was a ton of fun!! we did do some pacelining, and caught some crap for being on the mtb's instead of a "real" bike, but overall it was very cool. I think the roadie types who said mean things were mostly concerned about wide handlebars in a group.
now go ride!!
Nice....any plans to do it this year? I am going to do so.
I love riding my full-susser but hate it when I stand and try to sprint or climb standing.
I have also noticed that the slower I am riding, the less I notice a big performance difference between my mountain bikes and my road bikes. If I am just crusing at 15 mph, I see no reason why I would not want my super comfortable NRS1. Anything over 17 mph, though, and I start longing for my road bikes.
