Funny thing is you will ride on freshly paved smooth roads one week and a few weeks later they throw in the chip seal. Ride as fast as you can and hope your fillings don't fall off. Good testing ground for water bottle cages.
I had not thought about water bottle cages, but if they start to crack from vibration, you REALLY need softer tires.
