mecheng89 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm there. Same route as the Summer edition? Less mud hopefully?

NotSoBigBen Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Just as a matter of interest FP would I be allowed to ride my MonsterCross bike if I felt like?
Harryn Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Now it's a toss up between this and Tour of Durban [emoji848]
Face Plant Posted April 13, 2017 Author Posted April 13, 2017 @ NotSoBigBen although this would probably be the best weapon of choice for the Fast one races unfortunately UCI regulations state that the use of traditional road handlebars are forbidden. It would however be very interesting to see the reactions when the mtb riders get smoked by a "roadie"
jcza Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Sure there was a CX bike at the last Fast One. Wonder what exactly the problem is allowing drop bars?
Face Plant Posted April 13, 2017 Author Posted April 13, 2017 @jcza, i heard that there was a CX bike at the last fast one... apparently made a early breakaway but then suffered a sidewall cut. Obviously would have been DQ'ed due to the UCI regulations but to be honest, i have no idea what the reasoning behind the rule is

Obviously would have been DQ'ed due to the UCI regulations but to be honest, i have no idea what the reasoning behind the rule is Didn't see the cut but did see him struggling at the end with the terrain. Can someone please post the rule that shows CX bikes not allowed in MTB races?
