IdeJongh Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Will be at Barberton High school until 9pm on Friday as far as I know, and Saturday morning for a short time as well.
sias Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Which bike should I bring - 26" ds or 29" ht?Doing the 75km... Edited January 11, 2012 by sias
IdeJongh Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Which bike should I bring - 26" ds or 29" ht?Doing the 75km... Bring the 29er, uphills are looooong, but smooth and downhils arent too tech.
Tim_Fair Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 <p>Agreed! 29er HT will suite the course well!</p>
