I figure that my Coda should handle it OK. Would street tires (semi-slicks) be best?Originally Posted by divingbiker

Yes, they should be fine if they're not real skinny. You don't really need to have knobbies, you just need them to be wide enough that the air pressure isn't really high or you'll bounce your brains out. Much of the ride is on normal city streets, but there's a fair amount of cobblestones and some railroad track crossings. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

I'm definitely doing the 22 mile route this year. Our DC Monument ride was so much fun, I'm betting a ride through B'more would be terrific. It'll be tough to get up to B'more that early, but it should be worth it.

I'm definitely doing this and I think Janice is, too. Anyone else?
