Curtis: Congrats on the new bike. These guys will overwhelm you with great tire suggestions (which can lead to lively discussions) but my advice is "run what you brung". Mostly this works but was sub-optimal on last weekends Loch Leven sand / gravel / rock sections. Pay attention if David mentions "knobbies". My Atlantis is currently shod with 40mm Vittoria Rando Hypers which ride nice but proved a bit light for the loose stuff.
With Mike in Carlsbad & me in southern Orange County, do I sense a Fallbrook - Escondido - Elfin Forest - ??? loop or perhaps Mt Palomar in the future? Stick with us, we'll get you lost for sure. dougP On Tuesday, May 28, 2013 5:44:30 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: > > Hi Curtis, > > I live in North County (Carlsbad) and also ride with the SoCal Riv group > that Hugh mentioned.
