Hey @mtbzenmaster, i’m thinking of doing this race this year. It’s hard to see to fine details of the terrain, but do you think it’s possible to ride it with a fully rigid (no suspension) bike with 650b 2.8 inch tires? Thanks!
@MTBZenMaster
@MTBZenMaster 8 ай бұрын
The terrain is a relatively smooth cross country course, if you okay with pumping over occasional roots. It depends on your fitness and skill level. I could ride it full rigid. Send it bro! :-)

Thanks! You could probably use a DH bike for Blue Mountain since they let us use lifts, but most of the other races you have to climb on the transition up. Go ride some laps an glen park to test if you'd like 5/6 climbs. oh and check the rules on the eastern states cup website.

@@MTBZenMaster no question you’ll favor the emtb over mtb - I have. In past year, only a dozen non-ebike, while doing 150+ rides on the ebike. I also didn’t gain a pound - you can tailor the assist to the workout you want. And other than weather, there’s never an excuse to not ride (I rode 15 miles per day the last 7 days, would have been nearly 20 days except for last Wednesday rain) and I’m 64yrs old.
