From the XTERRA Rule Book:
2. Bike:
 
2.1. Equipment: Only mountain bikes are legal for competition. Cyclo-cross
bikes are not allowed. No drop handlebars are allowed. No aero bars are
allowed. All bikes must have 26”, 27.5” or 29” wheels. Bar extensions or
grips off the handlebars may not exceed five inches(5”)
Any/all bar ends must be capped.

Besides, the bike course includes a really nice flow trail section and a run through their bike park that would be a waste to ride on a CX bike, but SOOOO much fun on a mtb. 

Let me know if anyone out there needs team mate(s) for the race and we'll do our best to find a match for you.

In light of the prior emails about the Greater ABQ 1/2 marathon, just so you know:  The XTERRA Tri the Torture is being put on by the same dedicated group of volunteers that's been putting on the LTT since 2006.  Here's more info about us. 

It's going to be a LOT of fun.  Bring your family members and friends to cheer you on.  The water park and other activities will be open after the race so they can sample some of what the racers will be doing.

For out of towners there's lots of lodging options at the race venue; tent sites, RV hook ups, primitive cabins and hotel rooms.

I believe it is technically against the rules but I don’t know how strict the enforcement is.  I don’t know about the course.

Any chance that a person could ride this on a CX bike??or is against the rules and/or not possible due to the terrain?

Looks like this is going to be a very fun race at Glorieta Camps (east of Santa Fe) on August 9th.  It will be a good one to "tri" for a first-time XTERRA.

 

There are also options for relays if you don't do one of the disciplines.  You can contact the race organization and they'll help get you set up with folks who can join you for the relay.  Come on...it's only 750 meters of swimming!

Be sure to check out the course description and maps, and you'll see how fun this is going to be!
