Hmm probably need another bike then.
I’ve been looking at a Cannondale slate, any idea what they are like?
Maybe just a hard tail mountain bike is a better/ safer option.

What tyres can you fit on the blue thing? I dunno how Cabo De Gata compares to the rest of the route but it was rideable with 28F/34R.
I'd already replaced the crashed Tripster with the same frame so it was a no-brainer but if I didn't have that and wanted to do a lot of walking I might've taken the Inbred SS. Plan is to use flat pedals and sneakers anyway.

Cannondale Slate
It's a cool bike, but not a very good one. Someone who's tried one for 30 seconds will come shortly to say it's "so much fun", which is at best debatable, but the handling is really not great. Fast though.

GRAVEL OR MTB?
The route is around 85% off-road, most of it without special technical difficulties.
A gravel bike 40mm tyres is perfect even for those paved km. A MTB may give you an extra comfort on those few technical parts.
You and your bike will be welcome anyway.
