I would recommend Cross/Fattie/MTB/Gravel bike. The Greenland openspace is the only area on the route that will have soft dirt or and heavy mud if any moisture falls before the ride :-), the rest of the route is hard…
Only if these really were coming out http://gearjunkie.com/shimano-vibram-bike-shoe . Today when ride with platform pedals I wear Vibram SportTrek, great to wear, i can curl my toes to grip the pedals.
GravelMN, check out Northwave shoes, I had talked to a rep in Colorado a few weeks back and he mentioned that their shoes typically have a wider toe box. the LBS in my area will be getting them in next few months, i…
Saturday ride 26.6 miles of with a little detour.
Cricket, absolutely ride against the wind. Get gets Windy here in the Colorado along the FrontRange. I use to hate riding in the wind, but now I view it as training opportunity! I am also training with a frame bag…
.Cricket, I won't lie it's a hard ride but it is very worth the punishment. its fully supported, aid station every ~22-24 miles, if you are doing the 94miles its a lollypop ride, if the 54 miles then out and back. To…
Alchemy showed off one of the highest-performance examples of the genre at this year's show with its all-new Aithon http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/gravel-grinders-and-fat-tyred-road-bikes-at-nahbs-40409/

I also agree with Chitown and Zack. I use 2x25oz bottles in the cages, one with Skratch. 100oz bladder in a frame bag or hydration pack (liking the one for Ultrarunners by Salmon (it sits high on the back). I have also…
Gravel and bikepacking picking up momentum in Oregon. http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/news/2014/feb/01/gravel-roads-catch-oregon-cyclists/
Goggle sunglasses would work great, smaller and lighter. Maxx sunglasses (Monument, Co) use to carry them and there they are cheap, less than $20.
I found this article to be interesting it talks of Rebecca's take on Gravel and endurance rides. http://www.rebeccarusch.com/rpi-gets-international-coverage/
So did you have to retire the tire after the ride or were you still able to use the Tire after pulling out all the thorns? I'm not clear on how the sealant works even if you only got one thorn or nail or screw and…
Could this ride be done on a Gravel/Cyclocross bike? or would a MTB/Fatbike be better?
Sounds like to me that Nys is just whining. Really "weight is about two bottles of water". I would think as a Pro, they would have access to the lightest components made available to them and i have read that high-end…
It would be cool to see a large group of riders on back country roads, i am thinking the locals would think Aliens have invaded.

FrontranageGravel, have you thought about putting on a triple gravel ride here in CO. someone mentioned a Triple ride in their local area that helped them train. Maybe a 50 (march time), 100 (april time) and the…
