i did a 78-mile, 8000ft of climbing day on a lovely $100 rigid mountain bike that was my daily commuter at the time. also i didn't own bike shorts so my rear end was sore before i was even halfway through. I didn't pack food, just stopped at restaurants or stores for snacks along the way. I bonked in the middle, so i ate some ice cream and gatorade and took a nap and then kept going. i'm not too overweight, but deffo not fit either. im just squishy and goony. i had the "wrong" bike and was missing lots of "essential" gear and training or whatever. who cares. if like to bike, just get out and do it (definitely bring water though)

yeah i have marathon plusses on my cx bike and they're heavy as loving poo poo but they simply do not flat. schwalbe has demo vids on their site of people just rolling through a field of thumbtacks and broken glass. 750g tires are 100% worth never flatting, especially when those extra grams pale in comparison to all the extra grams im carrying around in my gut and manboobs
