Warrior Princess Posted August 30, 2012 Share Hi guys, I'm a weekend warrior type MTB rider (more weekend, less warrior actually). In an attempt to get fit, and with the limited amount of MTB races where I live, I'm contemplating participating in road races too with my mountain bike. Have any of you done this? The purpose is obviously not to do a good time, but to get in some extra time in saddle. But I'm afraid of looking like an idiot going there with an MTB and doing a terrible time I'm doing road rides and road races with my MTB. nothing wrong with that!

Smolly Posted August 30, 2012 Share I suspect we need to scour the net, then if all else fails recruit someone who can weld and also knows a little about engineering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime Posted August 30, 2012 Share like this That is exactly it. Do you think it will classify as a tandem for the Argus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Potgieter Posted August 30, 2012 Share I am in...where the hell do you get one though, my welding is suspectI live in potch. At the dam, there are a bunch of them locked up and haven't been moved in the 3 years since I have been here. Maybe call someone at the dam resort and ask if you could take 1 or 2 off of their hands?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted August 30, 2012 Share I did the Macsteel Carnival road race a while back on my MTB just to get ride time for Sani. I started right at the back and had an absolute blast - and the best part was passing a bunch of the E-group guys up a hill on the LHS in the dirt ;-) P.A.K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose is obviously not to do a good time, but to get in some extra time in saddle. But I'm afraid of looking like an idiot going there with an MTB and doing a terrible time I'm also a weekend mtb'er but have done the odd road race on my mtb. Trust me there will be a lot of other mtb's around so you won't look like out of place. I have always finished comfortably middle-of-the-bunch on my mtb so don't worry about doing a terrible time just because you are not on a road bike. I guess it's a personal thing but I always put slicks on when doing road races, yes it "defaces" your mtb but it makes a noticeable difference in speed and I would rather go faster than look like a "true mtb'er".
