    Thanks for highlighting this amazing event. The course you rode goes by our house twice between Escondido and Ramona. I'm totally adding this as a bucket list ride to do, but I love my road bike too much to do that to it. Your crash sequence convinced me that a CX bike with 33mm tires would be a better bet if I want to finish in one piece. Thankfully, I brought one back from Belgium, so . . . time to make plans for post-quarantine

    Still think you made the right choice with the road bike. You have more pluses than minuses.

    • @Vermonstered
      @Vermonstered 5 лет назад

      The road bike itself has nearly zero benefits besides being maybe a kg lighter than something like a 3T Exploro or anything akin to that. Aero is basically even. Add on some 30-35mm fast rolling (smooth center, light knob shoulders) the 30 seconds you might slide during big climbs due to the weight of a heavier disc brake equipped frame and wider tires, Tyler won't as climbing is his thing and can make up for it, you now don't have to press after every single track, gravel or sandy section. Being able to be part of the pack at the transition out of those sections at the cost of 5-10 watts more to sit in the pack and up the climbs saves a lot more energy than full gas chasing after every single technical section because you don't have the cornering traction or your skinnier tires dig into sand too much.
