    Quick RH question.....do you know if the Hatcher Pass has the same performance/tread pattern as the Snoqualmie Pass. I am interested in trying some RH tires and know you do (amazingly) well on the latter, but I'm heavier / taller and thinking of trying the Hatcher Pass....currently on 42 and 45 Pathfinders. Thanks !

    Favorite Cyclist!! More Small Events for the average everyday Masses......Why?? Training isn't as consuming and you get more time with your supportive family. Ride on Ted!!

    Lachlan is a pleasure to listen to. What a G! If you want to see the future of Gravel Racing. World Cup MTB could be a good reference as to where it might end up. Started NORBA racing in 1988…now look at where it is today.

    Congrats at the win. I went with the same tire choice and it’s my goto option for chunkier stuff in the PNW. I was in the 2nd start group and saw tons of riders cut the race short or need aid because of the rain/cold!

    I run the Rene Herse file tread on gravel. It provides great traction and predictable cornering. I have the knobbiest, but I haven’t had a chance to use them yet.

    Great setup, I built up an Cannondale EVO SE with force 2x and running the Manostash on Reserves 40/44 wheels, used it for a gravel race last month in a crazy mixed terrain of mud, muck, sand, chunk, fine gravel, and tarmac, and it handled fantastic. Ran the endurance casing. No wheeping and havent noticed a puncture since I installed them two months ago with orange seal.

    I love it! Honestly love it. The new model with the custom color options shed something like 25 or 30% of the previous model’s weight. I think you’ll dig it.

    My rental bike didn't have enough low gears. The legs gave out at the 25 mile marker after battling a constant headwind. I'll bring my S & S equipped Moots next time. With a 24 - 42 low gear, it should be no trouble ticking off this major bucket list item and adding it to the Stelvio, Mt. Evans and Pikes Peak. Allez!
