I took a ride on my Sirrus 3.0 through the Weekiwachee preserve on the west-central Florida coast. I love this place!
After 2,500 miles on the Sirrus I had to replace the chain and now am looking for new tires as the OEM tires are worn down. I'm going with wider tires for better traction in this type environment. I ride 50-50 here or on paved MUP's so need to find tires that grip off road but roll smoothly on pavement. I found that letting some air out of the tires when riding on the rough limestone trails through the preserve made a world of difference comfort wise (but not too much - to avoid pinch flats). But there are patches of sand and 32mm tires aren't the best for that environment. I put the air back in when riding MUP's/rail to trails.
