I just mounted up the knobbie tires I brought for this trip, and it looks as though I'll be thankful I have them. I've taken a couple rides (40 miles) and I notice that they kick up any small sand/gravel that is on the road. So now, given that and the weather I need to mount up some kind of splashguard on the downtube to keep the mud somewhat off me.
Well, if the weather is cool, as least the beer won't get warm!
