I went on news years eve, I wish I had brought my own bike, it was a Cannondale Jekyll but getting used to 29″ wheels (my bike has 27.5/26) the Shimano brakes – either on or off, the suspension didn’t seem that plush and the pins in the pedals weren’t very grippy. I was holding onto the coattails of riders in their 20’s and 30’s (I am in my 50’s) Still a lot of fun though! I brought my own helmet and knee pads and just carried my FF on the plane with me. The temperature was 9° at the top and 22° at the bottom but this was the last day in December. So for three days, I think it would be worth it to bring your own bike.
