    Yeah, I think @Danimal and I discovered that about the same time. My bike came with High Rollers which I quickly shed for Minions. Minions aren't fast by xc "race tire" standards, but they were noticeably faster in the same size than the High Rollers.

    Best wishes! :thumbsup:

    PS: From what I recall, Amy could ride a flat 2.6" Schwalbe Magic Mary and still be faster than me. :confused:

    Thanks for the input Herz! I’ve used them before, on my old bike, but didn’t notice a differene. I think you guys are more tuned in to those kind of things o_O

    Don’t let these guys influence you. The Highroller is a great tire. :thumbsup:
























    And it might just slow you down a little. :p :whistling:

    Is the route always the same? I do not seem to have a route other than what is posted here. I know it pretty well just want to make sure I do not miss a small section like Fenner or something similar

    I typically have a decent sense of direction, but after the first 3 hrs or so, my judgement may be questionable:eek::oops:

    Does that mean I don’t have to load the route on my GPS?

    Have a great ride y’all... Like @UPSed I’m all bark and no bite so far when it comes to this ride but truth be told I’d be a guaranteed DNF right now with the way my right knee feels.
