RTL training and wining ride

That flower pic is one of the nicest uni pics I've ever seen. Sorry to
hear about your suffering.

Great pics!

Also good info on the 2.35 vs the 2.0. I've been reading other threads
on camber as the main road I'd hoped to commute on regularly has severe
camber in parts and I'm running a 2.35 Big Apple. I'm getting better at
handling the camber, but tbh with the amount of camber and all the cars
buzzing by etc, it's not an enjoyable piece of road.

I know it's hard to quantify, but how much of an improvement do you
think the 2.0 is in respect to the handling of camber over the 2.35? Do
you ride the same stretch of road and go 'oh wow, this is more like
it!', or is it only small (but worthwhile) improvement?

Thanks!

On my ungeared 29er, I've adjusted to the road camber issue with the
29x2.35; as long as the tire is pumped up to 50psi+, I don't really
notice it much anymore. But on the geared 29er, it can be quite a
problem. There was one section of the Silverado Trail with a banked
turn that I came into at speed, and I really had to fight the wheel to
keep it moving straight, slowing to under 10mph. On the same section
the next day, I just carved the turn without slowing. It was a pretty
dramatic difference.

The 28x2.0" doesn't handle bumps quite as well, especially at high
pressure; it's still better than many tires, but not super-cushy like
the 29x2.35".

The 29x2.35" is definitely better for anything off-road, but I'm pretty
sure I'll be running the 28x2.0" (or else the Marathon Supreme, which I
just received and haven't ridden on yet) for RTL.

This weekend was a LOT of fun. While Tom and Nancy stayed at a romantic
B&B, I camped up at Harbin Hot Springs, which is a perfect way of
winding down after a day of riding.

I HIGHLY recommend the combination of wine tasting and unicycling.
Staying sober wasn't an issue since we had adequate distance between
the wineries that we stopped at. The logistics of buying wine were a
little tricky. A few wineries held our wine that we picked up later,
and I managed to stuff a couple bottles in my hydration pack. We did
most of the wine tasting on Saturday while riding 40 miles. For those
contemplating a similar ride, I'd recommend dropping that down to 30
miles to have more time at the wineries and not be as rushed.

...if you're wondering what the thing in my hand is, they're Tom's
socks (clean!!) that we used as a baton.

Thanks for that, appreciate it! I've ordered a 2.0.
