So I got a new (used) bike, a Jamis Aurora Elite Touring Bike, circa 2008: [img] Somewhat bizarrely, until yesterday I had never really ridden a "road bike," or really any

norwaygirl in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
I got my first ever road bike earlier this summer, too, and had a lot of the same issues/discomforts. Now I like it more than my mountain bike! I still enjoy going biking on the trails and such,

Riding around last night, I was feeling like I was getting more winded riding my road bike than I would have riding the same distance on my mountain bike. I guess it makes a little sense: slightly

Riding around on a road bike after being on a mountain bike is a pretty neat feeling. So much less drag, way better pedaling efficiency, more gears, more places to put your hands. But if you

Scrotor in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
I was contemplating getting into mountain biking this year, but I think I will consider it much more seriously next summer. Maybe that will make me feel young again ;)

Do it.  Now.  Immediately.  I expect you to have a bike when I get home...

Scrotor in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
Haha, I was looking more at getting a backpacking tent from the REI outlet sale. But maybe I'll spend 5 to 10 times more and get a mountain bike instead.

MrFood in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
Why you gotta be a bitch like that. Can't you just save up and buy both? A good backpacking tent is nothing, go get the REI halfdome 2 that shit is cheap. Cruise craigslist or ebay for a

Scrotor in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
That might be an interesting project. Now you got me thinking about building a mountain bike.... that would be pretty awesome. As for the tent, I ponied up $150 for the UL backpacking tent

MrFood in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
You will probably be much happier with a new, tried and true than the old dome. But freee is free, I'll take a look next time I'm there for you anyway.

So now that you got that sweet ride you'll join me on this next summer? I want to do the 400 but I think I need to start small and do the 200 first.

kaiden in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
Huh. That would be interesting. And hellacious for somebody that only rides ~12 miles a day, or has only ridden more than 3 hours once or twice. There's also that unless I get into winter

The exercise bike probably isn't a bad way to spend a lot of hours in the saddle, its not the same but still its usually just the sitting on my ass for lots of hours that kills me and not the

My coworker Laura has done this in the past. You bike more than her, Josh. You could do it! She took her time - definitely didn't race alongside the dudes with the aerodynamic helmets, but she

Scrotor in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
Dude, this would be pretty awesome. Of course, I would suggest doing teams or the lower mileage options, but it would be cool!

Travis has done the Fireweed a few times on a 4-man 400 team and loved it. The last time he rode it they were switching riders every 5 miles, so it wasn't super difficult for them and so they

Scrotor in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
That seems like a crazy amount of switching! So they have a car accompany the bike the entire time then... interesting.

MrFood in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
The rules are pretty interesting on the 400, for team or solo. You can't leave valdez without a pace/support vehicle, and between 12 and 5 am your pace vehicle must drive behind the rider and

norwaygirl in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
Oops I was wrong, they did the 4x200, not the 4x400.  In previous years they did longer distances at each time, but it still wasn't anything excessive like 50 or 100 miles at once. The

I'm confused, would they hang on to the pilot car or something when they weren't up?
avatar
MrFood in The Sporting Life, about +14Y ago:
There is a bunch of rules so that no rider can have any physical contact with the support or pilot car while on the road, and the car has to be behind the rider so that the rider can't try to

yep, JD described it pretty well. One person on their bike riding and the other riders (and a driver, or the driver could be a rider i suppose) in the support vehicle, with the other bikes on a
