Fontana...

...fontana bobanabana bananafana fo fana tanna... California. Got in in to Fontana wed. evning. Its not to bad a place aside from the smogness in the air. ( not to be confused with smugness ) al the air gunk from LA gets blown inland into the 10,000 ft'ers at our west and just biulds up. its been 3 days and i still avent seen the mountain chain right inforn of us it so thick. the course is pretty exciting. its in this urban park in the middle of theis huge development. mostly single track, super sandy and washed out/rutted out down hills, and steep climbs. the even shoot us down a few rain gutters for good humor. With about 80% of the course being relativly hard packed and rolling youd think yod be fine with a good 2.0 high rolling semi-semi-slick. but the other 20% is just so redonkulously washed out and breaking bumped, its just beggin for a 2.2 low presure widly spaced slow roller. after much deiberation and a sneak peak at Blakes ride, im going with front and back Maxxis Cross Marc 2.1's. and today, downat the Jenson USA head warhouse, i picked up some stans, so im going to run them no-tubes. wish me luck tomorow am with the sealant and the air compressior. this could get interesting. in the end, the 100 grams more than the karmas will sill end up the same or lighter without a tube, and the tires combinded with the bit lower pressure is going to make a huge diference in desending and cornering time. more later. some picks on nick and jason's pages. peace
