Im about to start my first year of collegiate raceing and my team is going to do a preseason 6 hour race on one of my local trails.
One spot on the trail is a 3-400 foot rock garden that twist back and forth. I clear it routinly on my regular rides but of course it slow and risky on my rigid bike. Which got me thinkin it would be much faster and less risk of damaging the bike to just get off and run through the section.
I was wondering if this would be looked down upon or if its a usual tactic by some folks..any thoughts..
