I had a great Atlantis ride up Railroad Grade on Mt. Tam in Marin County the day after the Rivendell garage sale. I used Marathon Extremes, knobby 40ers.
On the say down, Hoo Koo E Koo was good, but then on Blithedale Ridge heading down back toward Mill Valley, I chickened out a few times and walked the bike down the steep stuff. I probably would have done the same on my MB-4 with two inch knobbies, probably would have done the same on a full sus bike. -Jim W. -----Original Message----- >From: Anne Paulson <anne.paul...@gmail.com> >Sent: Oct 13, 2010 9:55 AM >To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com >Subject: Re: [RBW] Headlands Ride Report 10.11.10 > >Sounds fantastic.
