yes,some of them were running the chains with cleats which i think is the way they all used to do.some did have different types of all rubber paddle tires though.the devils staircase is north of kings island by about 10 miles i believe,it's about 7 miles off of 71 in oregonia.i think this was the 60th running there.it was about a 90 mile ride from my house and with a little added running around turned out to be about a 230 mile day.I'll be back there next year,it's a good time and it still amazes me how so many different types of riders that were there that turn out for this(sport bikes,touring,harleys,you name it and it was there)and they all come together and have a good time with no incidents at all,very impressive.later guys.
