The one rocky section in the first picture above is actually going to be taken out of the route due to construction, so that will benefit you. There's a steepish singletrack climb that you'll be penalized on, and the back side of that climb is a constant downhill that you'll want to be careful on. That's fire road, but it can be slippery coming down. You want to be very comfortable in those conditions. That said, you mentioned on the other post that you may not be able to finish. These two demanding sections are in the last third, so you may already be skipping them by that point.cyclotouristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432432995861421062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057322973984382387.post-80429841811819580012014-01-10T12:45:08.715-08:002014-01-10T12:45:08.715-08:00I'm a bit worried about my 32mm Paselas, given...I'm a bit worried about my 32mm Paselas, given my 240lb of bulk and minimal bike handling skills. Thoughts? I think my bike could handle up to 34mm or so without fenders.Forbes Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206726185164505164noreply@blogger.com
