Default Long Beach Marathon

Is anyone going to ride this??? I am thinking about getting a few people together and we are going to ride for fun. We are going to all ride DH/FR bikes. Here is the link.

I am going to switch my event from the full marathon to the bike tour because I can no longer train for the run. I just injured my knees from running. Was told by my orthopedist that I didn't have enough time to properly train for the event given my current health condition. So I am going to ride it on my SS instead.

I'd like to do this - some slow pace to get my legs moving again

I would change your gearing unless you don't mind spinning like a madman while only going 13mph.
