Aspens are more than okay! We're running 40c ramblers..

Right so it’s not muddy like sticky sloppy slippery clay gravel

Not from what I can remember of 2019.. Maybe someone else that rode remembers differently? I'm trying to locate old pics from that year to rejog my memory now haha. Will post if I find any.

 

Edit: I rode with 2.25 Aspens that year and I can't remember that I ever gave my tyre choice a second thought while riding

my experience of riding in a moist gravel group is that you need to make a plan with eye protection, and have a backup plan for that plan.

No 2019 was hard surfaces with good grip. More wet frit than slippy sloppy clay.

This looks like a fast rolling route - pump your tyres harder than Chinese Math
