Serious lapse in blog posting. Anyway, I've got Wilderness 101 coming up. My Specialized Epic is at Specialized(for the second time). Hopefully it'll be back by Wednesday. It should be a rocky course from what I've read. Choosing to run the Continental X-King in 2.2 ProTection. Wish I had taken a picture, but one was 574 grams on the Park Tool digital scale. I rode them today(Lake Lurleen outside Tuscaloosa, AL), and so far I'm really happy with them. More grip than most tires I run for sure and they don't feel too heavy. I like to go with a beefier tire a lot of times to avoid flats. You're not fast if you flat. I'll see what I can do about posting a little more often.
