I can confirm the nasty pavement on Monument Street. I hit one pothole (concealed in shadow) at speed, no bad consequences due to the combination of 42mm, low-pressure tires and a very stable frame geometry, but it got my attention, for sure. Lots of lesser annoyances, and traffic was light enough to permit judicious line-picking.
