THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB
WE, US, GOTTA HAVE the right tools for the job if we want to get the job done. Whether it's work or trainin' or racin' we know...
... that is the first step towards success.
Consider the Surf N Summit,
Dana Point to Big Bear.
I've been asked will an...
- MTB
- Road Bike
- Cross Bike
... get it done.
Based on...
- 119.6 miles
- 14,701' elevation
- 40% is offroad, probably 60% timewise
... these facts.
Considering our goal of getting there before sunset,
here are the answers:
Yes.
MTB will be slower on the paved portion,
faster on almost all the dirt sections.
No.
Road bike would be a risky choice,
practically doomed to failure.
Yesish.
The Cross Bike is the original gravel bike,
but bigger tires would be a lot nicer.
