g: The current issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine has an article about doing the White Rim Trail. One of the riders was on a Surly LHT with 4 panniers. They did not quote a size but said he stuffed the fattest tires that would fit. They took 3 days for the 103 miles. From the photos & description it looks entirely do-able on a decent touring bike. Hugh of Homer & I of Atlantis are musing on this ride. Probably not going to happen this year but a bright blip on the radar for 2014.
