Hey Susan! I’m not sure what the unpaved areas look like. Most of the trails within the park are hiking only and something tells me bikes wouldn’t be allowed. But the surrounding areas there’s likely a ton of beautiful trails to ride.

You rock, great coverage, and I second what Zorcycle says, normally Bloom is an escape from the rain on the west side so everyone heads over Stevens Pass to Wenatchee or drops down from BC (me) to enjoy the sunny weather and great locals cheering us on. I have done Bloom three times now but passed the last few due to work and lack of training. And yes i race cro-moly but in the geezers M55 field, well actually I am just lucky enough to even be there. Ace really amped it up this year, and though I miss the race that weather was something I didn't. Waterville is by far the hardest stage for me, looks flat but is anything but,

Do that enough times and ruin your own race dropping watt bombs chasing teams around and you’ll get sick of doing the work for the teams that are represented. Of course in the 4s that’s the common theme. It’s why breaks stick in the Pro Race but mysteriously they don’t in CAT 3/4 races etc.

That’s really a personal preference. If you like your width in the drops on the Zipp Ergo then 42 ENVE make sense. If you want to be narrower then go narrower. The 40s could be a good happy medium maintaining some width in the drops but not sacrificing that narrow hood profile
