Important Tire and Route Information
Road Conditions
The Tour de Fronds is a back-country route, beautiful, but remote. The Forest Service and BLM roads are mostly paved and fine for road bikes, but some of the route is chip-seal. We also recommend that you cycle with a partner and limit speed on the descents.
Tire Recommendations
Daphne Grove, Eden Valley Metric Century, Arrastra Saddle, Cruiser Loop and Agness Pass
We recommend 25C to 32C tires as a minimum for comfort.
Rogue River - Singing Springs Ride
We recommend 26 x 1.5 or 700 x 32 tires for those riding these asphalt/gravel rides.
