Yeah and there was a highway for even faster transportation. We lost the race...
There were lots of roots and rocks on the trails and the footage from the actioncam came out quite shaky. Anyway I would recommend at least mtb-sized tires if you gonna carry the camping gear, water and food on your bike there. And it's good to prepare for the worst parts with your bike of choice than only think the average speeds advantages on smoother sections.
