    If you can see the next layer, I wouldn't suggest a canyon run. If you're thinking about it now, you'll be thinking about it on the ride instead of concentrating on your lines, and watching for sand in the corners.

    Once you get that thin, the rest of it goes pretty fast. I rode the Poudre canyon one time with a thin (bald, not corded) rear tire. By the time we got back to Longmont it was corded through. Time for a new tire IMO.

    Don't risk it and take the chance of laying it down in a corner from lack of grip.

    Monica and I rode it yesterday. It's still very sandy towards the top, but there are some very clean areas that are super fun!

    Yeah, that's all I'll have time for. If people want to keep going, they can, but I'd have to head back down.
