mariusor, Went for a damp ride today, experimenting with lower tire pressure.
Even though it's still too high according to optimal pressure charts for gravel - ~45PSI vs ~30PSI - the ride felt good enough on pavement (still stiff enough to not worry about pinch flats) but riding on grassy off-camber surfaces I felt much more confident, plus speeding on flat grass was a pleasure.
The only thing that didn't go well today was practicing doing wheelies. :(
