Chilly morning compared to the weather of late, with temps in mid-50s and low humidity. I wish we had weather like this all of the time. We had basically the same weather all weekend, and it was perfect for my tour training. I'm riding the GAP-C&O Canal trails from Pittsburgh to DC with friends in two weeks, so we did long rides on Saturday and Sunday with our bikes loaded up with all of the gear we plan to carry. Everything looks good-to-go except I'm still trying to work out my tire and fender situation. The 35mm cross tires that I would like to use won't fit under my fenders, and I'm afraid the smoother 35 mm road tires might not have enough tread if the C&O Canal trail gets muddy. I ordered some larger fenders from my bike shop, and hopefully we get the cross tires to fit with them.
