Speaking for the group we would prefer 32 with fender on the rear so you aren't spraying road grime and gravel dust behind you on this ride which will encounter rain.

35 on the front tho 'cause fatter in the front is the best.

Did you know that a mature cedar tree can provide up to 1/4" of interception storage?

The unfortunate downside to this phenomenon is a sunny morning after a long night of rain but the interception storage is passing its bounty down while you are trying to fold up your tent.

All of my attempts to avoid riding all the way out and back have fallen through. Guess I'm in this for the whole cookie this time around the sun... can't wait to disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble my entire bike while blindfolded tonight instead of sleeping!

This might be yr eleventh Ben Country, but it's my first. Be gentle!

Don't get too bogged down with the minor decisions. Where there is a will, there is a way.

If you only have one bike then that's one less minor decision.

What hashtag are we using for this trip? Seems like it would make sense to use #FeelTheBen, that way we can all find each others pics and tag anyone who got left out. Looking forward to a rad nostalgic Sunday full of recovering, posting, tagging, and clicking the Like button.

GODDAMNIT

I guess I should not break the secret that there's a possible barbershop quartet competition at BC this year.

Anyone here know a good bass? I think we're solid on baritones and tenors, but a little thin on the low end.

I've got bass covered. Will need to remove sleeping pad and tent so I can fit the sheet music in my bags. Maybe Derrick can haul it?

awesome it's fully day T-1; I dropped my bowl and broke it, and the usual out of the blue slow-leaking tube has shown itself ensuring I'm going shopping and then working on my bike the night before the ride while I'm supposed to be packing. One more sleep, in theory!
