I was exhausted yesterday - the Mixed Nuts 55 was no joke - but it was a great time. Next year I'm going to do a ride that hits J.P. Weigle's workshop - that sounded like it was very cool. On Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 10:11:09 PM UTC-4 franco rinaldi wrote: > Absolutely epic weekend > > Fran

Have you checked out the videos and photos from previous years? Also - Ronnie Romance usually posts the routes the week before the ride, including a tire width recommendation for each route, it feels like 38/42's are usually the recommended minimum. James On Monday, October 14, 2024 at 3:50:5
