At least for once, as the roadies were so much faster than me on climbs, but descents this thing destroys on.
It made everyone's day, and was the talking point of the entire ride whenever anyone came across it.
Fun > Speed (although I'm using a road bike next time, I'm knackered)

awesome, but advocating for prostate cancer is pretty dark…
Oh, man. American here but went to uni in reading. Love that area and miss it.
I wanna see a roadie with huge BMX bars next time
With different tires you would’ve been about as fast as them
Kona bikes throw off lycra gang #4 reason I keep mine around. They can’t help but love ol Jake the Snake because every moment is an experience.
I did the Bourbon Burn on my 2:1 26er last year. Billy Goated up the rolling hills bc if I don’t charge I die. Then straight bombing down. Then the roadies blast past again on the flats. We got a few cycles in with most folks. Good times. Very non-race vibe out there. Fun event check it out.
I have an xbike, I tried, and still do, to make it a road bilke … Later I got a legit road bike (the kind that only fit 28 tire max) … I tried, and still do, make it an xbike.
Either Ive a laser focus and have a vision on the exact bike I want or just being profoundly confused, I cant really tell…
What event is this? Went right past my house 😂
I’m always surprised at the sheer volume of roadies that exist out in the world. Just a bunch of knobs in their superhero costumes and way-too expensive bikes 😅
