So, everyone's favourite fat mess is down for this.
How are you lot planning to get over there? I have a hard deadline the weekend after so sorry #nofly peeps I'll be speeding up the Earth's destruction just a little for my own fun. There's some Iberia flights from Heathrow that might work but they go via Madrid. There's easyjet direct flights from Gatwick which are cheaper but will take as much time as going via Madrid plus the bike box pushing, train tickets, etc.
I need to get out on the gravel bike with TL tyres and see what they're actually like (and how to fix all the inevitable issues). I guess there might be some canal paths and farm slop in my future.
Looking forward to seeing the route and making a call on bivvy vs. hotel stops. Bit hard to estimate speed on gravel never having ridden this kind of thing before so I'll probably end up carrying sleep kit anyway and seeing what unfolds. #grravel
