Shawn:
If you choose the 50 mm BAs just for this ride, the C & O part might
provide enough poor drainage and mud to have you wishing for something less
floaty. Remember when you leave Hancock that there are 17 miles of asphalt
you can default to on the opposite side of the canal from the C & O;
I was reminded of this yesterday, when the route included multiple rough RR
track crossings and old worn chip seal. The 650B conversion to a RBW Road
allows 38 mm Pari-Motos. At 55 - 60 lbs of air pressure, they float over
that junk.

I like the 50mm BA as well but agree with Bobby they are NOT good in mud.
The last time I rode the C&O it was wet and muddy. I ran 50mm Duremes and
was glad for the tread.

All thanks for the input. I am glad to hear that many of you have ridden
this ride with BA and were happy with their performance. I have only ridden
a short distance on the BAs and they feel great, especially going down my
long rough gravel drive way. I was concerned that the tires might be too

They may be slow, but only if you're doing this ride in 4 days. In that
case, speed might matter.
We've done this ride a handful of times, in both directions, and over
different time frames. I highly recommend it. You'll have a great time.
The scenery and history of the area is wonderful.
Was remembering this pic of Jimmy Carter on his Rivendell. I wonder if he
still rides it? I believe he and his wife had a matching pair IIRC.

Someone found a blog entry a while back that listed a number of presidents
with a bike affinity. T.R. Roosevelt comes to mind (he originally equipped
the first NYC bike police patrol) and many others.

Don't own a 52cm Sam, but I'm fairly certain the 57.5cm TT length listed in
the geometry chart IS the "effective" horizontal TT. There's a note at the
top of the geometry charts that reads: "In cases of 6-degree upslope, we've
included only the theoretical tt length."
