Funny thing about the Grand Bois...
Got them for my Bleriot 650b in the 32 and absolutely love them. I
jumped at the 30's for the Rambouillet when I learned about them. For
some reason the ride quality didn't improve on the Rambouillet, in
fact it was diminished. A real disappointment, so I sold
Thanks James. It's a joy to ride. I'm going to try and make the next
So-Cal group ride. Maybe I'll see you there.

I mapped it from my place and it would take about 3 hours to get
there. Has anybody riden this loop? how long if you stop to smell
the roses? I might be in if it could be a day trip. If the rain stops
by then is could be perfect.

The J-Tree loop is on my list of things to do. Perfect time of year for

I have and like both tires (if you mean the Cypres). I like the Cypres better,
but not extremely so. The Paselas are a better value, IMO, at about 1/2 the
cost. Both tires seem to last about the same (about 2.,000 mi). I have not had
a flat on either.

Ken,
If you have time to get over to Joshua tree National Park, it is
phenomenally beautiful place to ride. You can do an out and back from
either entrance or ride end to end if you have a ride to pick you up, gate
to gate is about 35 or 40 miles if my memory serves. A longer loop is
possible too
Thanks Gary for the info on the Tour Dee Palm Springs. I will be in
town the night of the 18th and leaving on the 20th.
Dustin, the Palm Canyon Epic looks fantastic, but I don't think I
would try that solo in unfamiliar territory and my Atlantis has
couplers so I can travel with it, my off-roader
Seth: thanks for replying. I've got an offer for a pair of Dura Ace 7400

Gotta say, the best riding around Palm Springs requires fat tires and
(hopefully) front suspension (at least):

You could try it on a Bombadil, but I don't think you'd try it again on a
Bombadil.

The Tour De Palm Springs will be going on Feb 12-13th. Weather is
usually brisk in the morning and warm in the day 60+ degrees or so.
I've done this one a bunch. You may be able to download a course route
online. Real fun ride if you decide to participate. If not, there are
tons of interesting ride
Also, it reminds me a bit of when I got my AHH. (I'm assuming that Rivendell

When you look at JB Blues on a bike with those great sidepulls, and you know

It looks like I will be able to spend a few days with the family in
Palm Springs during the second week in February. Thinking of bringing
along my Atlantis so that I can get out and ride. Looking at the map,
it looks like San Jacinto State Park could make for a fantastic ride.

just under 400 miles, so to do this in 5 days, New York State Bicycle
