just as a disclaimer, this is not a thread to call anyone out or anything like that...just to start a discussion.
at the race in phillipsburg yesterday there was a guy racing with the C's that brought both a mtb and a cross bike with him. he kept talking about how he left his cross bike in the pit and rode his mtb for the race because he thought the course favored a mtb.
i have to say that i dont feel like that is really the point of cyclocross. I like the fact that you can use a mtb for a cross race, it helps to bring in more people, but if you have a cross bike, you should be racing it regardless of the course, thats kind of the point of a miserable cross race...
