At least you can fit pretty wide tyres on the Hook, like 27,5x2,2", right?
Shame it had to be postponed to October, though not that surprising now, didn't really even think of entering because it didn't seem realistic to be able to be there.

Yeah you can squeeze a 2.2 in there, I have scrubbed away some of the paintwork on the chainstays and fork legs though, even with 2.1 – south downs mud is to blame I think, which won't be such an issue in Morocco.
Definitely not surprised it's now October, initially I was disappointed but lately I've been more of the mind that I could really use that extra time to train. I'll be able to do Frontier 300 and hopefully a few more things beforehand now, which will definitely benefit me as I've not done any events of this kind before.

well, we were gonna get there in the end:
I'm riding on a Bombtrack Hook EXT-C. Several people used this bike last year, however reading a bunch of race reports it seems like everyone on a gravel bike would pick a hardtail if they were to ride AMR again. My hardtail is naaat suitable, so I will have to stick with the Hook. I guess I'd better spend as much time trail running as riding in preparation for this....
