[RBW] Headlands Ride Report 10.11.10
Morning, all. I was able to wheel out the Quickbeam for a weekend ride for the first time in more than a month. It took me out into the Marin Headlands to explore the wonderful set of trails inscribed there along the southern three ridges. Despite being underpowered and therefore, a bit undergeared, it was a wonderful afternoon. Trails, hills, beaches, and an ocean, with only minimal interruptions by three other cyclists, two runners, and a handful of hikers--all just 10 miles or so from my urban-crushed doorstep. I seem to oscillate between these types of out-back trail rides and longer road rides out into the country. Sometimes it's fun to get into a steady cadence on the road, feel a little speed, and enjoy the breeze in your face. Other times, I just want nothing to do with other bipeds (no offense of course) and head off to the nearest trailhead. Do you all have a preference for one type of riding over another? In any event, I'm just glad I have a bike that lets me do both so enjoyably.

Sounds fantastic. What tires do you find necessary for adventures like that? What tires would you recommend for someone who's not a great bike handler? What pressure did you run your tires at? I like riding my Atlantis (32 mm Panaracer Paselas) on dirt fire roads, but lately, at the end of the summer, I've been chickening out and walking more, as the fire roads in the South Bay (and presumably in Marin as well) are covered with gravel and dust.
