Yes, we often ride VERY rough gravel back roads here in the country. By rough I mean hard packed dirt with sharp gravel and rocks that range between 1/2" up to 2"...it can get pretty hairy. We also ride over some cow fields in the tractor ruts sometimes. I'd really be risking frequent flats by going thinner, I think.
Will stick to civilized paved roads tomorrow for my "maiden voyage" though!
Next year we hope to do some touring through New England...NY,MA,VT & NH.
That's why I'm trying to get stronger!
