37C tires. This is fairly representative of the surface of the trail:
The continuation of the Milwaukee Road ROW to Avery is rougher in places. There are also washboards in places since it's open to motor vehicles. Since I encountered only 3 cars in the 9 miles between Avery and the Pearson Trailhead I rode whatever portion of the road happened to be the smoothest at the moment.
