It's never too late to fret over tire choice. Well, maybe not never. But with the miracle of next day shipping I have at least one more day to fret.
And after that, I'll fret about tire pressure.
It's what gravel racing is all about!
I've run 45 Riddlers and thought they packed up in the mud. Hope the 37s fare better.

Apparently it's gonna be very muddy - even more so that usual. So I'm taking my old bike - it's already got fatter tires on it (43mm) and I'm less concerned about possibly doing damage to it.
