So I'm going on a short 3 trip. I'm biking out to the Ouachita National Forest(62miles) and camping for the night. Then riding down to Lake Ouachita the next day(50 miles), finally day 3 will be a 60mile ride down a small scenic HWY wear I'll probably be picked up bc the rest of the way is all hwy with hardly any shoulder and I don't have the extra day to reverse course.

Ill be carrying my gear on a rack with panniers. I'm packing very light with a 4.5lb tent, a few changes of clothes, mainly bars and fruit, and water.

My question is this. I have a cyclocross bike and have road tires and light trail tires. The trail tires are Kenda Wuicks. I'll be on concrete nearly the entire way but will venture onto dirt for a few miles. I'm not worried about the dirt part but will I be better off with the wider trail tires for stability?

I've never done this before but I do plan on loading up and taking a quick spin to see how things go.

What do you think?

Wuicks?

You should be fine with either set of tires. I did two 50 mile days on my cyclocross bike on 23mm front and 25mm rear tires with a tent, sleeping pads, and cooking equipment strapped to my rack / in panniers and had no problems. Since you're going to be mainly on roads, I'd use the road tires. But you should try it out and see which you prefer.

Lighter the tire, funner the ride...on pavement. 25's on my DF tourer. No problem, even on a short stretch of gravel.

Thanks guys... I'm looking forward to it.
