now try doing it on dirt
With no drafting, no resting, and constant battering on the body. Not to take away from the road riders, their fitness and skill are amazing, but even Lance himself claimed that a simple pro mountain bike race was the hardest thing he'd ever done. Now change that 25 miler into a 100 miler, or even better, 24 hour race, and you've got a grueling event!
