tire pressure should be a daily check, takes two seconds to do it and could save your life. Definitely check them before any hard riding.

Update. Front was down only 1 pound at cold. The rear was spot on. But damn does that 1 pound feel weird. It feels really peaky and tall.

It was hard because my bike was in a storage unit until Friday. By the time I would get to a gas station the tires were already warm and it would read different. And I just never got around to picking up a handheld gauge. However, I wish I would have known a bicycle pump could handle that big of a tire. I have had a really good high volume mountain bike pump with gauge the whole time.
