And that was the case with her. We both had 90's mountain bikes with smooth tires. We had no problems on the rest of the trail.

I do wish that smaller gravel could be used because I would prefer to ride with her. With the trail unchanged, there is no chance I could talk her into going again.

Anyway, it is one of my favorite trails.
