BTW, I don't think you have to worry that running at 35 psi is too low-- to a road rider, that must seem very low, but for a mtn. bike it's perfectly OK.

The quickness and acceleration that we get out of a nice, light XC hard tail is just a blast, and there's nothing that a skilled rider can't handle here.

My worry is actually getting the pressure low enough that a 15 mile ride becomes a lot more "exercise" than I wanted.  .   Especially if the last 3-5 is returning on asphalt.

And I think the idea of experimenting with weight related tire pressures and giving Terryl pinch flats might be problematic;  especially if she has to fix it.
