Tell me about it!

That makes sense. The camelbak would be hard...slosh, slosh, slosh... Once you're on your bike, though, you're good. It sounds like a pretty cool race. It's funny, I always think I wouldn't want to mtb/trail bike because I don't want to get hurt, BUT, riding the mean streets of Chicago is no cake walk! The surface can be rough. They're resurfacing a lot of streets, so today I had to jump the Bianchi up about 3-4" of pavement differential. The cars, the trucks, the people, and, as beta found the other day, the dirty diapers in the bike lane I've yet to encounter that one.

Sounds like that kind of trail ride is quite an endurance fest, and that appeals to me. Keep posting! Thanks! L.
