Hey guys, we made it! We didn't leave until late and that gave us a great break in the weather. Of course we didn't get to China camp until like 10:00pm (only sprinkled on us), but that's what dynamo's are for right! It dumped on us on Wednesday morning so we took an extended breakfast break at

Hi everyone, The time has come to get some tires for my new ride. I've been running a loaned pair of Schwable Marathon 700x32 @ 80-85psi from my commuter. I've been running these for a couple of years now with no problems but I wanted something more supple. New bike = New tires right? I know I'
