We had our organizational meeting last night for our Owyhee Scenic Bylands (http://www.scenicdrivesusa.com/node/82) ride in June. This is a 104 mile ride on a dirt/gravel road. Looks like about a dozen people will be riding, we are going to take 3 days, 2 nights so we can have time to explore as we go.
What is way fun is all but two of the riders are over the age of 50 :p
Quite the combination of bikes as well, Surly LHT's for many, full suspension Mt bikes for others, throw in a Salsa Fargo and me on Sky and it will certainly be an adventure.
For Research purposes, we are also playing with tires and tire width, with several people volunteering to test various Schwalbe tires and I am going with the Grand Bois Hetre (really, really hoping they are sturdy enough) The only downside is the Bike Hermit sold my Rivet Pearl saddle and the replacement is backordered till mid june so now am in a quandary about what to use.
Will certainly post a follow up.
