Picture me - in a DeSoto suit, shoes match my bike, aero-ish helmet with visor, cranking a solid 24mph. A guy in bright yellow 3 inch split running shorts, mustache, 1980 something cross country tank top, shin high white socks with some dirty white Nike’s, foot cages, what looked like his sons skate helmet, a steel road bike - BLOWS by me. Like 28mph+. Absolutely demolishes my spirit.
HaHa… This is exactly why I’d be careful on how I was kitted out for a smaller more local event…
Use the tri bike… Maybe you could put the stock wheels back on if you have them, and as mentioned - no aero lid…
