Took the Ritchey out for three rides over the weekend, ranging from 24 to 43 miles on pavement and unpaved trails. With the 33 mm Jack Brown tires, it really has a cushy ride and rolls very nice for such wide tires. This bike is gonna get a lot of use, commuting on days when rain is not expected as well as trails and light touring. I'm gonna leave fenders off it for the time being even though it has been raining every day lately because I have another commuter bike with fenders.
