For this race I used 45mm Maxxis Rambler (medium tread) in the front and a 40mm Maxxis Ravenger (big tread) in the back. If I race it again, depending on the course, I'll use 50mm up from and 45mm in the back. Other people used MTBs with big tires all the way to some people on cyclocross bikes with skinny tires. There certainly was no one right tire choice.

I believe the official name is the "Moab Canyon Pathway". The video shows most of this pathway, but there is more paved pathway that takes you to/from the more central area of the city.

Defiantly understandable! I had two full stop-and-thinks deciding which way to go during the race. Saw at least two arrows that were pointing the wrong way!

The course was a blast! Coming back up through the last dirt section at the end did me in.

At the base of the climb the bare pines are mostly from the 2019 Museum Fire. Closer to the summit, the bare pines are from the 1977 Radio Fire. The Radio Fire is why Mt. Elden is bare today. The neighboring TV Hill summit is covered in pines because the Radio Fire didn't reach there. I'll ride to TV Hill in another video. Throughout the ride you'll see bare trees with white trunks. These are Aspen and they're deciduous! They lost their leaves a week or two before this ride (mid-October). I'll be filming this route in each season, so the deciduous tree cover will look very different depending.
