My husband and I purchased mountain bikes back in the fall and have probably only used them 4 times on local trails. We have been on road bikes for about 4 years now and have done 10 centuries. Now he has this insane idea that we're going to do the ICEMAN in November and I know next to nothing about it. I can't let him do it without me, but I am somewhat of a weenie. I thought that event was for elite mountain bike riders and I will never be anywhere near that. To me that's like attempting a marathon after only running 3 miles a day.
