Using your photos and text as a guide, I pieced together your route featured in the article for the "Brooks Blog", as I intend to check it out. I'd like a road-worthy set of tires for the paved sections and wondered if you think I could get away with a set of 700x28s or if I should go with the security of knobbier 700x30s that are currently on my 'cross bike?
