I know it's been done lots of times on singlespeed (and fixed even) but still, what do you folks think?
I would not know, I am new to this lark... and I have gears. I am however an old lady, so you better make sure you stay ahead of me, whatever you decide to do :D
as you say, if you don't mind being slow on the road, and maybe walking a bit further off road, I don't see a problem...except in choosing the best compromise gear/ inches
all sorts of fitness levels on all sorts of machines jus turn up and get round ( within the rules ofcourse:) ) so you'd probably have company and 'feel in the race' though to be frank, half the attraction of such a course is in negotiating the topographical challenge so who cares if you're alone...the challenge is probably enough....wouldn't fancy it myself though:D
if you finish infront of me i'll be gutted:)
A thread on this ilk has been started on the 3p forum................me thinks by a Rossy Harrier oldish timer :)Quote:
