Iowa's 3rd Annual 24 Hr. Mountain Bike Relay
My best lap this year was right at 1 hour. They lengthened the course by a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile, hence my slower time than last year. Kai did a couple sub-hour laps, I think his best was :54. His night laps were faster than a lot of biker's times. Nice tool belt! -- gbarnes - www.gb4mfg.com George C.

Way to go guys - Kai you're awesome! Would it be possible to use a 29er (or even a Coker) on this course? We generally find that a 29er with 150mm cranks really moves on a course that is too technical for Cokers. Regardless, great effort! ---Nathan -- nathan - BIG rides: Muni & Coker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42673 |

a 29er might be doable for someone with massive legs. you'd be pushing up most the hills and some of the downhills as well, but the flat's you could really crank on. i had enough problems riding more than 75% of the course on a 24 with 175s, george had a 26 with a brake and 175s and i think he did fine, 29 might be just a bit too big. -- markf - movie nerd stuck in iowa and unemployed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markf's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8102 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42673 |
