so farrrr away.

I registered for the 115k not even looking at the options. Just messaged them and switched to the 100k mystery ride.

It is kind of early for tire discussions lol but I will be on switchback hills again :P

It may very well be the one tire to rule them all.

Meh. I tried them on my NFE and thought they were sluggish. Much prefer the quick handling of the BabyShoePass on 650B wheels. I'm hoping the 26" wheels let me balance the faster handling with more float...

Isn't it nice to live in a time when we have choices?

registered 100K; since I got lost three times last year, hopefully it will be less of a mystery.

I'm signed up for the long Mystery Ride. I did it last year too, but didn't finish the whole course. Aiming for a better performance this time.

Tires will be WTB Nano Race, in 29x2.1.

certainly my favorite. I am now on babyshoe pass and thought maybe they would be better on pavement and maybe they are but in all honesty I would not mind switchbacks all the time.

Did the Mystery Ride last year, so decided to avoid the Napoleonic death march prior to lunch and registered for the 180 this year. Looking forward to some beautiful views and tasty viddles!

I have never done R2D2, and undecided on which course. 180, 160, Mystery or 115.....

well, you can always change it till the day off. Apart from the mystery rides since they are limited to a certain amount of people.

I have done the 100k and the 115k. The 115k is much harder than the 100k but I think I preferred the 100k. It was a more varied course imo, the 115k is still a great ride.

The Mystery is a 100 mile ride, just a little difference.

I am not sure how big I want to go, I am leaning towards the 160K or Mystery (100 mile)
