On vacation riding rough roads-what should I check

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

On vacation riding rough roads-what should I check

I'm on an island for vacation this month and brought all the bikes. The roads onthe south part of the island are rough as all get out. No matter what direction I go I have about 8 miles of hand jarring teeth gritting riding befor I get to smoother road and then face it again coming back. Being an island I have no way around it. But what should I be checking on my bike afterwards? I'm just doing a basic functionality test currently.
