Anyone else going to this? I'm heading up with a few other friends including @Tp88. Should be rad!
I've not done a huge amount of gravel riding before, but we've been doing plenty of canal towpaths, old railway lines, & whatever gravel across the tops of moors we can find in preparation. My quest for similar surfaces has led to filling in quite a few paths on GravelMap around Leeds. A few weeks ago we did the Transpennine Trail over to Manchester from Leeds, which was about seventy miles of off road, I think that's prepared us pretty well.
A few friends did it last year & said that it's the hardest thing that they've ever done. They've since set off to cycle from Portugal to China so I don't think it's put them totally off riding bikes. I expect we'll sleep well on Saturday night, even if it is in tents.
My setup , but with a full frame bag, two big bottles & an out-front mount .
