I took it through leg 1 of the trail route to work. Wildcat Canyon is all clay, and in the spring time it's either hard as cement or ankle deep peanut butter. There were still a few of those wet wallows, so we're a couple weeks away from being able to clean that section. That said, the Hillborne with 42mm knobbies was really a great ride. Pretty good chance I'll just let the Hillborne be my mountain bike for this summer.
