That aside, it's better to do it up properly before hitting the road.
It's very disconcerting when you go to resist the pedals and have that slipping feeling.
Anti-sieze on the threads, do it up "proper" tight, lockring on, then cycle up a steep hill, repeat tightening process (or rota-fix it if it is a beater) done.
