Ride the Rockies starts weekend next. Is anyone from this group going to be there? So I am between two bikes, a standard Rivendell road and a Legolas. The Legolas has longboard fenders on it, so the thought is I will take the road if the weather forecast is dry, the Legolas if wet. I like the idea of having fenders for a 6 day ride though. Both bikes weigh around 25lbs with empty saddlebag, empty water bottles, pump, repair kit, bell, small lights. Now tires. This is 440 miles with about 25 miles of dirt. One 15 mile stretch of dirt is towards the end of the longest day at 92 miles. The dirt roads are described as smooth. I have three sets of tires: Jack Brown Greens, Rolly Polys, Schwalbe Ultremo ZX (28mm). If the Legolas goes it will definitely have the Jack Browns. The Riv road can take any of these tires without fenders. Thoughts? Thanks!
