If you were to pick just one I'd recommend the Stayer The Distance #3.
Long distance offroad is weird, on some routes you end up on a lot trails that look a lot alike and you lose interest sooner than the same time spent on road rides. I am still trying to decide if I like these longer gravel rides. Also, it's very nice not having traffic around you, but that focus needs to shift on more attention to where you put your front wheel.

Oh, I thought those two routes were the same as the Hertsex ones? No?

You reckon? I mean, I've ridden across Kansas twice :D
I guess it depends how much I have to concentrate on not crashing on a given trail. It still makes a novel change for me compared to road.

I think you should try some long MTB routes rather than “gravel”, you will find them much more stimulating, even if you can’t go quite as far in a day.

Looks nice. We almost did the north on Sunday but were both a bit flat after our 300 fail Sat. I'm thinking about taking a random day off and doing one of the Hertsex routes. Maybe we could try this afterwards. Looks less MTB-y than the Surrey stuff.
