A friend and I rode the EST from Rochester to Albany just a couple of weeks ago. We were both sporting fenders, and I was glad to have them because (1) it poured down rain for about an hour or so on one of our days and (2) fenders kept the dust/dirt kicked up on the unpaved sections off of my legs and body. For a very flat course, the fender weight penalty didn’t really matter.
