Ahh tire pressure , as many have already mentioned it is such an individual thing. Like Shefly mentioned, LOTS of roots and rocks here in this part of the country. I weigh about 130 and generally use between 25-30 PSI, if it seems to be more hardpack then I will add more.
Glad to hear that you are getting your new bike out Catrin! If you are ever in the Richmond area, try riding on the Earlham campus. They own about 400 wooded acres, and the only people out there are the deer and people walking their dogs.
Have fun with the new bike!

Thanks for the tip! I wanted to get it out today but I do not want to be rushes the first time I take it off pavement - so just got in a short road ride before the rail comes in. Taking the Jamis out next weekend will be a reward after attending a 5 day conference
