I did the metric century version on an Atlantis with 2" Schwalbe Duremes. Jack, if you think the trail past Port Costa was cow-a lish-ous, you should have seen it at the end of March during a training ride the person who developed the mixed-terrain route (Craig) led. I saw three coyotes during the day, met some very nice kindred souls (including another Atlantis rider and his buddies), and had a great time. Dave, I probably had the fattest tires, most people rode cyclocross bikes.
