while a fat road tire will serve fine for this So Cal terrain, a low
profile knobby like the Clement MSO would be much faster on the better half
( dirt) of the course. I've ridden some of it on JB Blues and was fine
but I had to be careful on dirt road descents.

On Tuesday,
Most of the dirt is flat or up hill, and there are some parts I spin out
on. Some knobs would help in that for sure. But not so much that it slows
you down on the road. The first 1/2 has more road, so you'll definitely
like to move out on those sections, and not expend energy you'll need for
Checklist
1. My Hilsen is in my in-laws garage in Corona. CHECK!
2. I've confirmed it's a leisurely 35 mile road ride to Redlands. CHECK!
3. The Hilsen has a 44/30 up front. CHECK!
4. I'll bring an 11-32 with me to potentially replace the 11-28. CHECK!
5. It's got 650x38 Lierres.
The Soma C-lines ride so nicely that I'll stick with them, especially with
the disclaimer knobbies not needed.
Goatheads, well, what'ru gonna do? Need something to fiddle with. Maybe
try the Stan's route.

Bill, I think you have it all worked out! I've rode it with a 34/30 low, so
a 30/32 would be fine. Big climb toward the end though, so being tired
makes a difference. I do carry a 24T ring with me at all times just in case!
Doug, you've got it right: Avoid them and live with 'em. Stay away from
Now Doug you know how this goes with David and no knobbies needed (Gorge of
consequence) though even knobbies wouldn't have help there.
David you think the Soma Xpress would be a good tire to run on the Strada
Rossa considering all that you've stated about staying away from the curb
Only just realized that I can actually make this ride. 11-32 and 32-559
haven't failed me yet.

Really! It's gonna be international. IIRC you grew up in Poway, Ca? Anyway
that's great you'll make it. Look forward to riding with ya.
Best,

Jeff, way to add some international flavor to the event!!!
Hugh: Really no bad/wrong tire. Just something you'll be comfortable
on. Don't fret the goatheads, it's typical SoCal terrain, so if you
don't get goatheads now, you won't for this! :-)

I'm actually moving back to LA in February, so sadly, I'll be just another
local. No worries though, I'll wear Blunnies and an oilskin for some
outback flare.
Jeff,
Where in LA? It'll be great to have another in the region.
