Oh jeez. Not good, not good at all. We just got served. I know some mtn-only guys who put the screws to roadies on their mtn. bikes. These two aren't them.

They did do 67miles. Which was impressive. But the article makes it sounds like we can't use clipless pedals either.

There's a guy that shows up regularly on a local training ride (road) and he does just fine on knobbies. I've also been passed around Bonelli when I was on a road bike. This guy was cruising at about 23mph on knobbies. It hurt just to see him spin that fast.
