Keep in mind that 'cross tires have more rolling resistance than low
pressure MTB tires over anything rougher than hardpacked, smooth dirt. They
of course are quite prone to flatting on anything more than pea gravel.
In 12 years of racing I have seem the 'cross bike idea many times. I don't
ever remember it resulting in an advantage and generally those who tried had
nothing but trouble.
Good luck!

Sure sounds great; rabbit up the hill and then be a rolling chicane for
everyone else the whole rest of the race...

Since the Spring Thaw are the State MTB Championships, will cyclocross
bikes
be allowed to compete? What are the rules?
