How fat are the tires on the Fatlantis, again? I'm dithering about whether to use Super Moto 2.35" tires or Knard 3" tires on my bike. The Knard tires are absolutely fantastic in the kind of deep kitty litter that abounds on the Outback, but they may be overkill. On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 9:53 AM,

It's on my list for next season. I'm trying to recruit a couple of buddies but no luck so far. I'd most likely take Amtrak from Olympia to K-Falls. If time and energy permit I'd like to continue north via USFS roads on the shoulder of Adams and tie into Hiway 12 near Randle/Packwood. Timing
