Do it on your road bike. Jesus. I was out there on mine tonight with the only concession to aero being 50mm wheels. Why ride someone else's bike when you've spent time and money building one up that fits and works just fine?
Rode the 25 miles from work to the start only to miss sign-on by about 5 minutes. Hovered around making conversation for a bit then delivered Laner's bag to the finish in time to catch JAMIE storming in. Chatted to the time keepers, rode back up the hill to the start then gave it an unofficial run. Which I know is frowned upon but the timekeepers were understanding of my predicament. Garmin said 25:00 bang on which I was happy with having ridden out at quite a pace and with 65 miles in the legs for today by the time I got to the start line.
Came home the long way, 113 miles isn't bad for a Wednesday :/
