Like Jim, I'm in the Twin Cities, and have found that as I age, even my normal skinny tire (aka 37) is getting a touch too narrow. Am glad my Sam Hillborne has 40's, but admit to riding my Surly LHT with 26x2.0 wide tires more frequently these days.
At this point, am not even sure I could ride a super skinny tire like a JB. Too much weight hand hand damage over the years to even really consider it. Am realizing the next "road" bike I may need is a Pugsley.
