That is really well written.  Sounds like an LA-centric type surprised to 
find something so interesting out there on the edge of civilization.  But 
good natured enough about the whole experience to admit being 
under-equipped; either too light tires or not enough tubes.  They sound 
like a fun group who has been introduced to a whole new area.  "Adventure 
ride" is the perfect description.  I like Mark's comments at the end, too.  

I always have a great time in "dirtville".  Sand, gravel, water crossings, 
rattle snakes, jambalaya, beer, good friends & good times.

A few of those out there. Jim's friend, Dan, and two of my MTB buddies from
OC:

Pretty amazing out there!

Bruce, that's awesome! My neighbor did the Stagecoach as well... what an
amazing event! RSR isn't quite as intense... :-) His trick is to ride it
singlespeed! https://www.strava.com/activities/517113778


Richard, a CC or similar is about perfect for this ride. Although some of
the riders on CX bikes said they wish they brought their mountain bikes
instead!

There are enough riders out there at the multiple different paces, that
it's pretty easy to find someone to ride with, change up, slow down, stop
for a while, whatever. And from I saw, really good vibes all around! I
think having it as a "ride" vs a "race" is the ticket to making that
happen.

Mark your calendars for March 2017, the fourth edition!

This year I was on a sherbet orange cross check n not a riv...Great ride 
though. Had a blast...was blown off course and wandered a bit, all part of the 
fun! I'll be there next year. Not to mention great people, had more

By the way I was rolling on the surly knards that come stock on the bike.  I 
would give them a big thumbs up for the ride. Much better than the paselas I 
gave it a go with last time.

A big thanks to everyone who put this  ride together, it was a blast! :)

Everyone, thanks for coming out! I ran into Richard and Arnold for a bit
out there as well (Arnold on the Riv custom, not sure what Richard was on).
Thanks for everyone that made the drive down our way, I hope it was a day
of adventure and enjoyment!

Missed Philip, Esteban, Curtis, Ian and Paul! We do have a new longest

I bet you lose weight while you're not riding (bacon or not).

When injury put me out for 2.5 months some years back, the bike layoff is not 
something I would have chosen, but there were some unexpected psychological 
plusses to being off for a bit.

Yeah, sitting on their patio with a pint is a nice passtime, isn't it!
We've actually changed even more since that posting, and aren't going into
that area at all. This way we get all those thirsty riders buying our
donated beer from Ritual Brewing  at the end

38 Special is such a nice climb, but it's 20 miles into it by that point...
low gears are good! The 100 milers are going to have some crazy amounts of
elevation!!!

Awesome!

I really talk it up here (SCAR, RBW) as I think it's a great all-rounder
sort of a ride. Sorry if I go on too much/often...
Rivendell bikes are absolutely perfect for it though, from the Rambouillet
to the Hunq, they will all be fine. And I think the Riv-rider mentality is
spot on for something like this. Go out, ride the bike you've got, explore,
see what you run into, when you're done figure a way back home and have a
great meal!

Plus I get to see my friends, so it's a win-win-win!!!

Hi Ted, GREAT question! Short answer: either of those tires would be fine.
Don't over think it! I've been all over the course with 32mm Eroicas, 40mm
MSOs, Nan40, Thunder Burts, 2.25 Nobby Nics... you get the idea. Each one
is a compromise, as the route is approximately 50/50 dirt/asphalt. Then the
dirt is divided by sandy, hard pack, level, steep, smooth, rutted... you
get the idea! Go with what suits your style best. If you like having more
traction for dirt, run a heavier lugged tire like the Knard. Happy
slip-sliding a bit in order to gain efficiency on the road, go with
something slick like a Hetre.
Clear as mud?

Doug, your recollections are correct. Parking is at the (lovely) Redlands
Mall: https://goo.gl/maps/3RPS6YEoPeD2

>From there it is less than two minutes to the registration and staging area
at the BikeBBQ https://goo.gl/maps/yypHWCszZ3U2

We'll see how we do getting all those people taken care of! :-)

Locals are encouraged to pre-register on Friday night at Stell Coffee.

Great post-ride party with live music.

Still spots for the 50k and 100 mile routes.

Pre-riding is highly encouraged! I picked up three goatheads this weekend,
but was randomly screwing around on some little trails I found. I had
Stan's in tubes, so they sealed right up when I pulled them out. If you
know when you're coming down, and it extends to the evening or Sat
afternoon, you could go over to the BikeBBQ  and
have a tube-filling party. Pretty easy to pull the core out and fill with
Stan's if you know what to do. If that doesn't work out and you can't get
the Slime tubes dialed in, bringing extra tubes (maybe three between you?)
is your next best bet.

50km route is going to be great: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12362494 A
great sampler of what we flat-landers have to offer!

That won't happen. Now back to Strada Rossa.  My plan is to ride my cheviot
with hetres. So I ideally need to put slime in my tubes, right?   And I'm
guessing for someone that doesn't know what they are doing, that i should
have lbs do that for me. I think Chuck can buy tubes for 700 with slime in
it. But the tubes with slime in it for 650b seem to be larger than what i
need for hetres.  Not easy to take care of these things in Wrightwood so i
need to handle over the next couple days while we need to be off the hill
quite a bit.

And then I'm really hoping to ride the route one day next week so I know
what I'm in for. And now that chuck knows about muffin top bakery,  i think
it will be easy to get him to go with me.

(I'm doing this on my phone. Sure hope it posts)

Ha, glad you have your priorities straight!

We're going clockwise this year, so Hangar's up front. Actually not on the
course this year. But on the 100k route, Brew Rebellion

I just registered Chuck and myself for the 50K (next year I'll get him to do the 100K).  Dave and Steph are registered for the 100K so it will be a major Wrightwood contingency.  I'm really excited for my first official "ride".  And it will be a really special day as the 2 guys share the 19th as their birthday.  Doug - please tell Melanie I registered.  Does the 50K count for her commitment to ride if I did?On Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 9:08:19 PM UTC-8, cyclotourist wrote:http://redlands-strada-rossa.blogspot.com/2015/11/were-putting-stake-in-it-march-19-2016.htmlA very Rivendell-friendly event!

As of this morning, space is almost filled. We capped it at 250 riders over
the three routes.
Currently only 12 spots remaining for 100 miler, 18 for 100K  and 20 for
50K.
If you're thinking of hopping on board, best be quick about!

 I'm ecstatic you and your wife can make it! It's practically in your
 back yard, right! The 100km is the signature event, so it's the one to
 shoot for in my opinion!

 You brought up two related question. The first is about your tires. The
 Nano/Knard combo will be fine. Anything more than 40mm is unnecessary.
 As the second question is about bikes/tires, I'll add that like Mike
 mentioned, some light knobbie tread will be really appreciated. So
 whichever bike she brings I think she'll be happier with the tire that has
 some knobs. That and whichever frame she will be most comfortable on for
 six+ hours. Oh, and gearing for hills.

 I don't think goatheads are going to be a big problem. I've been
 pre-riding with my my road bike on Challenge Eroicas, which are pretty thin
 rubber. No problems. So don't choose a tire just for puncture resistance.
 Pick the tire for the terrain: 30 miles of roads, and 30 miles of hardpack.
 A few short sand sections. As insurance, taking out the valve core and
 putting a couple ounces of Stans wouldn't hurt at all. I'd do that before
 tire liners. In fact, that is what I do!

 So don't know if that helped clear things up for you. I hope some.
 Anything else, definitely let me know!

 Was out in the hills today, and it's beautiful!

Those should be great. Any sort of fast 35mm CX tire will fit the bill.
There are a few sections of sand, but I rode them with Challenge Eroicas
(smooth 32mm) and while it sapped some energy, didn't stall me out. The

Based on the comments from Dave and Mike, I think I will put 35 mm cross 
knobbies on her Romulus and have her test them out.

I have a WTB Cross Boss that should fit its clearances.

That photo should go into the IEBA permanent file for marketing purposes.  
It's great!  And thanks for pre-running the course & picking up all those 
nasty goatheads.  I've got Phil's patch on my front bag anyway.  Ya never 
know!

David, sorry to not have replied to you sooner... life happens sometimes.

I'm ecstatic you and your wife can make it! It's practically in your back
yard, right! The 100km is the signature event, so it's the one to shoot for
in my opinion!

You brought up two related question. The first is about your tires. The
Nano/Knard combo will be fine. Anything more than 40mm is unnecessary.
As the second question is about bikes/tires, I'll add that like Mike
mentioned, some light knobbie tread will be really appreciated. So
whichever bike she brings I think she'll be happier with the tire that has
some knobs. That and whichever frame she will be most comfortable on for
six+ hours. Oh, and gearing for hills.

I don't think goatheads are going to be a big problem. I've been pre-riding
with my my road bike on Challenge Eroicas, which are pretty thin rubber. No
problems. So don't choose a tire just for puncture resistance. Pick the
tire for the terrain: 30 miles of roads, and 30 miles of hardpack. A few
short sand sections. As insurance, taking out the valve core and putting a
couple ounces of Stans wouldn't hurt at all. I'd do that before tire
liners. In fact, that is what I do!

So don't know if that helped clear things up for you. I hope some. Anything
else, definitely let me know!

Was out in the hills today, and it's beautiful!
