Long Haul Trucker owners

Any Surly Long Haul Trucker owners planning on riding the North Shore Century? I just finished building a 26" Disc Trucker and I'm having a blast riding it. I registered to ride the NSC a few weeks back. It'll be my third this year and my third century this year. However, this will be my first Surly LHT/DT century ride. Just wondering if any other Surly LHT/DT owners are planning on riding and if so if you'd like to meet up and try riding together. Sort of a #drinkingtheSurlyKoolAid century-ridin' posse.

I've got the same grips in the non-cork version and they are very comfortable. Does the cork offer any comfort improvements over the standard ones?

Love it.  By the way, here are the grips I was telling you about.  I have 'em on my LHT.

I don't know.  They've lasted for years.  I just like the way they look:)

I loved Overkill back in the day;)

It's overkill for communing unless you are heavy (check, for me) or want to use it for loaded work like touring or heavy shopping (also check).  For $470 shipped to your door (at least the non disc version) the frame and fork is hard to beat, though.

Thanks, Brendan!  I have got to get those!
