The graphs are great [MENTION=133818]Choke[/MENTION]
For those contemplating the Cino,
assuming the route matches 2016,
the following observations are offered.
1. tires
In dry conditions, 32mm (small knobs) was more than enough for my 200# carcass. Almost no soft sand anywhere in 2016.
In wet, ….well I guess it depends = How wet? How long ago? Rain on Event Days?
2. gearing
pick your medicine, spin or grind or walk. Only you know.
3. distance, considering 1 sustained climb each day.
Approach the ride as four 25milers in 2 days, with lunch break (& others), with an overnight hot springs spa location.
Pretty cush, except for 1 climb a day., BUT...
4. Remember …. all that downhill means - 'whole lotta skaking goin on' - tighten down all those bolts and screws, headsets, cranks and pedals.
