    Yeah man, SSpeed Rwanda is so 2008. CX? Don't tempt me.

    Let me know if we're doing CX instead. I have a feeling that might be easier than doing it on a SS :?:

    Does that factor in the 1/2 dozen or so tubes you have to carry to fix all the pinch flats?

    Looks a bit familiar....like the SS/FS Spider 29 I raced in Jan at Temecula.....to think I was going to bring the Retrotec:-k
    Maybe CX? Maybe not.

    Why not do them all? Anyone got some 9 speed STIs and some road BB7s I can borrow for tomorrow?

    You guys are going back and forth on what crazzy bike to ride....I am hoping to finish. First time doing anything of this distance and my only bike is a SS.

    Last year my group (inadvertantly) avoided the whole problem by simply riding behind the sweeps:eek:

    Okay I didn't seriously consider doing this ride until.... well, today. How difficult are the routes (25mi and 50mi), and what is the typical finishing time? Or in other words, if I take a long ass time, will there be any cheeseburgers left for me? :lol:

    My longest ride ever has been around the 20mi point, so I don't know if the 50 miler would be too much for me or not.

    I am on the fence for tommorow but it looks to be a good time and also for a great cause as well. If I do will only do the 25 miler. My GF is going to do the 5 mile fun ride. She just started riding.

    It's best to avoid the Slacker group if you plan on only doing 25, otherwise you WILL be coerced into the 50 :lol:

    mtnkitty - I say just go ahead and give the 50 a try. If things don't go well at the 25 mile mark, you can always just head back and grab a cheeseburger. You won't ever know if you don't try, right?
