Casey I can't remember the year but I was there when LeMond showed up after he had won the tour. We were all queued up on the road at the start and the announcer shouted "ladies and gentlemen Greg Lemond is on the line!" He never came out of the clips and dusted the field on a very muddy course.
I was there too. LeMond had won and taken off in a helicopter when I was still 1/2 to 2/3 done! He was there a couple other years too. I raced the 40 from 1988 to 2000ish
Good question - you could definitely run something faster like an Aspen if you have them, but I wouldn’t stress about it too much. Last year I ran the old model of the Specialized Fast Trak for O2S, Cheq, & Iceman, but I think with the new tread I would run FT/Renegade for front/rear. I’ve been running Aspens all year and they’re quick!
Nothing better than a bike rider, whose life is in the hands of car drivers way more than fair, shoots a ton of content just cruising along at 100 kph introducing us to his recent sushi acquisition.
