Frosty Posted May 22, 2023 Share 23 minutes ago, Pikey said: Is it gravel bike doable. Don’t own a mtb at present . There are two Wheelers doing the “Duo” on Gravel bikes, so I’m sure it will be okay. I know most of the roads too, so should be fun either way (dikwiel or gravel). Never done more than 110km in one day on a MTB, so another first for me coming up. Pikey and TheoG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted May 22, 2023 Share Just read it gpx files self navigation. I always shy away from those as I am technically challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, there are guys doing MTB trails on gravel bikes, so if your skill level allow, go for it. @Pikey will be fine, he has the necessary skills and then some 👍 TheoG and Pikey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
