WOW! Dustin - thanks so much for planning this. This was likely the most variety per mile I've see on on one ride - lovely empty backroads, dirt paths, fire roads, rocky and rutted fire roads, single track, and twisty road descents and massive climbing. We had a great group of folks and a lot of variety in the bicycles.
I was going to bring my Neo-Moto clad Rawland until the last minute, when I went with the Romulus with 35mm Paselas. I'm glad I did, as it was pretty darn fun getting bounced around on some of the more intense fire roads. That bike can take a licking.
