Hi Ted, GREAT question! Short answer: either of those tires would be fine. Don't over think it! I've been all over the course with 32mm Eroicas, 40mm MSOs, Nan40, Thunder Burts, 2.25 Nobby Nics... you get the idea. Each one is a compromise, as the route is approximately 50/50 dirt/asphalt. Then the dirt is divided by sandy, hard pack, level, steep, smooth, rutted... you get the idea! Go with what suits your style best. If you like having more traction for dirt, run a heavier lugged tire like the Knard. Happy slip-sliding a bit in order to gain efficiency on the road, go with something slick like a Hetre. Clear as mud?
