Road vs. Tri bike on Long Ride

Triathlon Forum

Last week I rode my road bike for the 1st time in 3 years. I liked it! I did a 93 mile ride.

I am thinking about doing my LR this weekend on that bike. However, I do have an “A” triathlon race in June.

If I do two weeks of road riding vs. tri riding will there be any impact on my readiness for the triathlon?

Thanks!

My recommendation would be to do your long ride on the road bike if that is more comfortable to you and to keep your speed work and trainer time on your tri-specific bike, especially if your long ride is with a group.
