Cyclocross Bike vs the Roadie

I just got into CX when I purchased a Van Dessel Hole Shot this past September. (LOVE the bike by the way)

It turns out most of my riding lately is on the road: (my friends are all "roadies" and the trails are full of snow and ice). I do all my road riding with CX tires: the 32 mm Specialized Borough - which I've found amazingly fast for their size. So, I'm able to keep up with the roadies with no issues, except for my the ones riding the really tricked-out, higher-end road bikes.

I was curious how many of you other Cross riders do a bit of road riding with your bike, and if so, do you make any special modifications to your set up or tires?

Any insight would be appreciated.



Any thoughts / comments from you more experienced rides
