Yep, I'm just across the Sound from you and I've done some riding out your way. With the Seattle Randonneurs, I've ridden some of the gnarliest chip-seal bone-shaker farming roads, downtown Seattle chuck-hole routes, bricks, and the root-heaved Burke-Gilman trail.
I wrapped my RR1.1 rims in 28mm Conti Gatorskins for a little bit more plush of a ride over the nasty stuff.
I prefer the DT rims over the Velocity for the simple facts that they have a wear indicator, and they're eyeletted.
