Really depends on the quality of roads/trails/paths /etc you want to take it down. Wider tires (lower pressures) can cover up a lot of bumps, but 32 aren't wide enough for much of that. 32s and a stiff frame will bounce you around a lot on anything bumpy.

One of the nice things about races is you don't have to race pace if you don't want to. Long as you had fun and came home safe it's a good day.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:I did some race pace on Saturday. 275w normalized for 3 hours @ 61kg. Never quite chased down the guys in the lead group but got 6th overall out of 500ish. My time this year would have been a CR any other year

Schwalbe G-one RS? Might be a little smooth for the fire roads.

That looks like a fun ride. I ride a grade too. 2015 or 2016, I really don't remember. I like the bike, but looking forward to replacing it with a Grizl when 12s GRX comes out. What do folks ride for shoes for gravel? I'm on SPD, but without recesses for the clips, so it's very awkward to walk in. I want something more comfortable and able to walk in. I'm planning on riding the short route for BWR Kansas in October and from what I've seen I may need to jump off the bike for some sections.

I am prepping for Foco Fondo, Salida76, and BWR:KS next year, depending on vacation availability, if I move as planned, and how well I prep over winter. A couple others would be nice stretch goals, but that will keep me busy. I wanted to do a couple of those this year but poo poo just didn't work out.

vikingstrike posted:Salida is a lot of fun and part of the Arkansas River area, which I think is one of the best places in the state. Really good MTB around there too at S Mountain, Methodist Mtn and the CT. BV is also just up the road with good trails and then Leadville another 45m north of that and Monarch is close to the south.

Residency Evil posted:Drove by salida last weekend. Seems like a nice place to bike. deong posted:Its a great weekend ride/trip. I'm rather annoyed they scheduled Tour of the Moon the same day as the Salida race, I'd have loved to have done both on the trip on successive weekends. Oh well.
