Tire pressure on gravel roads

[limewave]

I'm a freak about my tire pressure on my road bike. I always check it before I ride. Sometimes I double and triple check.

For some reason, I don't mountain biking. And now I'm a little superstitious about it! I just can't bring myself to check them

My legs were asking for a break from the bike tonight - so I went for a short hike and a look at the gravel in the park I want to take the mountain goat to next weekend. The gravel isn't very deep and in many places is washed out - small pebbles and nothing like the deep big gravel I have seen elsewhere. Also saw lots of puddles and where things have recently flooded. I wanted to go home and get my bike

Hopefully things will be dried out after I return from my conference next week...I will follow the advise here and start with highish pressure after asking lbs staff about it. They told me about the trail...
