The marketing is a fad People riding bikes on whatever road is in front of them, that's not a fad. It's such a 1st world distinction too.
Three days of adventure out of Wolverine Village . The best rides of my life have been up here and it is time to share. The final routes are not now finalized. Expect to spend Saturday 'out' on our bikes, making our own…
They tend to dump fresh gravel in one of the counties the race goes through but if it's been dry the rest of the course is best ridden on what most consider a road tire. I will likely be back riding the 100 on 700x27…

Seems to me they are won and lost in two ways... In sections that look, feel and act like cyclocross On long climbs that favor road bikes Anyone with some fitness can ride with the pack for hours on any bike. Therefore?
