Things were fairly firm. But this year? There are 35 miles of dirt on the long course, so with that I feel as though a wider tire will work, and if it isn't needed, well then I can still ride the bike any ol' way. If I do need that wide tire, I have it. I don't know, and I am erring on the side of caution with a dose of experience and some advice from a friend.<br /><br />You'll have to make your own choices, but this is where I am coming from.

I am doing the short course of Odin'...Howdy Sir,<br />I am doing the short course of Odin's this year, and was planning on using my cross bike with 700X40 Kenda Happy Medium tires. These have worked really well in gravel for me around Omaha and Western Iowa. Do you think the gravel around Western Nebraska is different enough to justify switching to a bike that can take larger volume tires?Tyler Loewenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769049502358724572noreply@blogger.com
