Hello Everyone:
I spoke to this subject beforehand. But my plan is to ride the entire GAP/C&O Trail on 271/14 road bike tires The Miyata 1000 is a classic (50 plus years old!) and it did fine on the GAP segment two years ago. I get the info about some possible ruts as well as mud due to rain when it occurs along the C&O. Just do it right? All things considered there is a concert in Vienna, Virginia that I'll try to make on 9 June. This one is dedicated to my friend Ben who passed from cancer not long ago.

Comments are welcome

For a moment you confounded me with your 2711/4 tires until I realized they are 27 x 1-1/4” tires. :-)

Are you starting in Pittsburgh on June 9?
