The Verrazanno looks scary hard but it's such a long steady slight incline it's almost like riding on flat ground.
I am going to ride my beach cruiser!!!!
Input needed from those who have done this in the past:
I have 2 bikes: A FS Giant Reign with soft and expensive tires, and a Surly Steamroller fixed gear. No effort is needed to push the fixie way faster than the Giant will ever go. I can scrape together $50 for registration but don't want to spend any money on modifying either bike for a one-shot deal. if I take the Giant, the ride will be comfier overall but I'll probably shred $120 worth of tires and it will take more effort to keep that bike in motion. If I take the fixie, I'm afraid I'll run out of steam over the course of 40+ miles, especially with bridges here and there.
Which would you take?
If anyone wants, I'll donate a set of cruiser style 26X1.95 tires to anyone who's too scared to destroy their tires.

If you're wearing a blue vest then you will stand out. The vests were blue last year and I think they change colors each year.:rofl:
You've got to find me first.
I'll be the one wearing a blue vest and a helmet.
