Hey Tim-
Debbie and I rode the Trail Trek a couple of years ago. I rode my
Atlantis with 26 x 1.75" tires that are about 38 mm wide. Deb rode her
Heron with the same tires. The hills are very mellow because they used
to be railroad grades. I never got into my triple the entire ride. We
had a grand time.
I bet your Roadeo with 35 mm tires would be ok.
Have fun,

Hi all,
Anyone ever ridden the Mickelson Trail Trek in SD? This is a ride of
about 110 miles on a rail trail spread over three days and centered
around Custer that looks like fun. I am thinking about doing it this
weekend and especially looking for other's experience regarding bike
choice. The website describes the trail as surfaced in crushed
limestone and recmmends a mountain bike. I wonder though whether a
versatile Rivendell with wider tires would not work just fine. I am
thinking either my Rodeo with 35's or my QB with something a bit wider.
Thanks in advance,
