I was literally just checking my email this morning and it popped up. I knew it would be a sprint.
I think I should wear a green jersey first day...

Criminy - I'm the worst PR man for this ride. Here I was ready to post an announcement and @gugie beat me too it! The Bike-Butcher of Portland is also the ultimate Cino-pimp!!
I couldn't have answered the questions any better myself either.
Thanks for supporting, guys - you're the best!!

Kathy and I are in but still digging out after getting slammed with a couple of feet of snow yesterday. Hopefully it’ll melt by July so we can can get a few rides in before Cino.

I thought it was "Montana where men are men and sheep are nervous" and What do you call a guy Idaho with a pick up full of sheep? Pimp

I am planning on going. Have a friend from Houston committed as well. Maybe others from outer States.
Two questions:
1. Where are best places to ride a few days before Cino to acclimate to the local gravel, etc? Any chance the Cino route signage out Thurs/Fri? Are Forest Service road maps available online? Is Whitefish or Kalispell a better home base (the days prior to Cino) for old friends to ride and recreate. Yes, I know Glacier NP is Close to the Sun Road ride (or something?) - but that's a post Cino choice for me.
2. Anyone driving from the Puget Sound area that could pick-up a bike in Issaquah and transport it both ways?, a 58cm frame.
edit
3. What is appropriate roguish era correct rando&your donny apparel?

2) If there is a possibility to put a bike on a train, that could be an option - there is a station in Whitefish and we could arrange pickup and dropoff.

1. thanks for possible rides, 30mi mixed with less elevation gain would be great training for travel weary sea-levelers arriving from outer states. And shorter that climbs then descends on gravel might not hurt as a practice session. Out n Back? Helps a buddy test an unfamiliar vintage bike, when accustomed to full susp for off-road.
2. I will Amtrak myself, but do not wish to travel with two bikes. Hoping for a full week+ trip. Plus - there should be a bunch of Puget Sounders going. @rccardr, @northbend, Portlandia (will there be an RV involved?), and many other BFers to gather with..... Who will plan the BF pre-ride day/night party? Not sure my hotel on Friday.

That weekend falls on my wife's birthday and as much as I love Cino, I love my wife even more.
I will really miss you guys.

dang I would LOVE to join as a first-timer this year, but unfortunately I can't make it to Montana for those dates. I guess there's always next year!

Plan a little party time, invite a few friends, serve some martinis at the top of the hill while wearing a sling and pretty soon you’re Mr Cino Party.

I have clearance to go this year as part of our summer vacation. I haven't signed up yet because I want to see how I feel after next week's Tourica '23 silliness. If I make it through that without barfing up a lung or pissing everyone off, I'm in.
That may or may not be an inducement for anyone else to come.

if there are a few people you know, I suggest a VRBO - they can be cheaper than a hotel, especially if you’re staying a few nights before (they usually have minimum stays).

Too early for tire talk? I've heard talk of flats on this ride...
My frame will clear about a 30mm tire size. Any recommendations in the 28-30mm area??

I suggest you make sure they are new and it might be a good idea to bring a spare.
Don’t worry too much about it. This isn’t a race. You’ll be in good company if you do.
Someone will always be nearby to offer up some ‘help”

If you've got a good line of credit at the bank, the offerings from Rene Herse can't be beat. I'm sure many will pipe in with their recommendations as well.

Gravel King file tread. 32mm on your rims mounts up to about 29-30mm.
Agree on avoiding anything ultralight, sidewalls can get damaged.
Also advise to use 28-32mm sized tubes, they seem a little loose when installing but don’t stretch out like a 25-28mm tube.

Can't add any new tire suggestions, other than to advise widest tires you have, and not too low of tire pressure to avoid the pinch flats as you'll undoubtedly experience some unavoidable hard hits. Two spare tubes and a patch kit advised. In 2021, ran into a fellow riding a fixed gear, pal was helping him fix his 6th flat! Think he won an award for that, an award I can do without!
