Bike Tire Pressure

I am excited for my first full this weekend at IMLP.   For most of my training and short 4 year riding career, I have been riding 105 PSI up front and 110PSI on the back.   I use ZIPP Carbon Clinchers and weigh about 173 pounds.   

A few weeks back, at my final bike tune up, the gentleman that built and services my bike suggested a much lower PSI.  86 PSI to be exact.  He is a very trusted bike resource.  

Not wanting to compromise too much, I have been riding at 92PSI the past three weeks, which I really have enjoyed.

I am not a particularly fast rider and prefer safety and no tire changing opposed to max speed/performance :)

Curious to know what any of you tend to race at in terms of PSI. 

Many thanks and good luck to all !!!
