i think, the ONLY advantage of skinny tires, when we're talking about D2R2 is the ability to go do the ride if the only bike you have is skinny tires.

fatter tires make the ride more enjoyable for all of the reasons eric mentioned, BUT!!! this ride is so good, and so much fun that you should not skip it just because you dont have a "gravel bike", if your bike can only fit 28's - it's still OK to come out and have fun. go slower and enjoy!

by all means, if you can fit fatter rubber, especially if this is your first time out here, but the big tires and low gears on and c'mon out!
