I think only one other person was riding a vintage.
I should have used my mtb shoes but figured I could save time by not changing to running shoes in the transition however I ended up taking my shoes off to get rocks out anyway.
I attempted to use my buddy's trail Wheels but the knobby tires were too wide and wouldn't fit.
The new trail bikes differences (as contrasting to my vintage is; wide bars, front and rear suspension, disc brakes, HUGE CASSETTE, 29 inch wheels, and Carbon Fiber.
Still, I managed to get a 2nd place AG medal with this bad boy... even with those heavy road tires.
