I brought a 32" mountain bike to this race

This video is sponsored by 4iiii who makes the power meters we use on all of our bikes. If you want to take your training to the next level with objective data about how hard you're working, power is a must. So go check out 4iiii power meters: http://sydandmacky.com/4iiii A couple weeks ago we got a chance to test ride Ari’s brand new 32” wheeled prototype and, well, we were impressed. Afterwards Ari sent us home with one of the frames so we decided to test it out in the kind of situation that we really care about, specifically at a race. So this weekend we’re heading to Gunnison for the Gunnison Growler where Macky is going to race the 32-mile event on Saturday on the 32” prototype and then the 40-mile race on his 29” Signal Peak cross country bike the next day. Since the 40-mile course is exactly the same as the 32-mile course just with an 8-mile loop added on at the far point this should be a perfect opportunity to compare the two bikes to see where each one excels.
