Mounted Stampede Pass tires on my road bike two weeks ago. ~50 mile mixed MUP and road riding yesterday.
Wow! These replaced 700x30 Grand Bois Extra Leger. Difference was notable nonetheless. Smoother, faster, more comfortable. There is a gravel path that runs beside the MUP for a few miles. I wanted to try it - but - the path is used by the horse set and was still moist from Thursday and Friday rains. Road bike has no fenders, so I stuck to pavement. Per Patrick Moore's experience, I really want to try the Compass with Stan's. Such nice tires need to find a way to bring them on tour.
