Yeah, I'll put some 28mm road tires on for the trip. I'm also thinking I need to lower the gearing - it has a compact double with a 34 front/28 rear right now and even without any loads, this is going to be tough on the long passes, at least for me. Unfortunately, I'm running SRAM and my only re-gearing option right now is to buy into their hideously expensive new XX mountain group to get a RD and cluster with a 32 or 36 rear cog. More excuses to buy stuff and spend money.
