So checked the weather for tomorrow around lunch time today and temperatures were predicted around 65 degrees. Just rechecked and now it’s 48 degrees.
Not sure how I feel about this new development.
Oh and the wind is going to still be kicking.

I know that, on occasion, I've given some of yous the business about being old, dusty farts. I have to apologize, because it's not so funny when you start showing indisputable signs of aging yourself. I'm actually a little... concerned. You see, I was listening to some music while cooking, and Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" came on... and I started singing along.
Ugh, I don't know how I'm going to cope with this.

Man! Its windy out already but the peak gusts of possibly 60 mph are not expected until later in the day/evening. Of course, it's trash/recycling day in my 'hood. Too many people don't properly secure their stuff. There is already trash blowing around in the streets and on the sidewalks.

I used to pump tires to max, but have seen the light. Best numbers are very individual and depend on tire, tire (and rim) width, weight, riding conditions, etc. but I do suspect you can lower your PSI significantly and may be pleased with the results. You can go crazy low if you drink the tubeless Kool-Aid.
For me (with tubes), when running 23's I do 90F95R; for 25's I do 80F/85R. YMMV.

I think I paid something like $600 for new frames with progressive lenses and anti-glare coating. I've been wearing eyeglasses since I was kindergarten, so I don't really think about spending the money on new specs anymore.
