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.

Just read it gpx files self navigation. I always shy away from those as I am technically challenged.

At least this year I got company (Carlos & Molly) riding together, last year I was 95% on my own 🙈.

Take it easy on Carlos, you don’t want to hurt him too much😜

Yes if your skills are better than mine .... ☺️

Most of the route will be 100% for gravel bike, only small limited sections that would be better on a MTB.

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 👍

Although they provide a GPX file also of the route it was very well marked last year, so you wont get lost .

Last year was a nice tail wind also, I averaged 23.5 on my MTB, for me that was super !!
