Cheers.
I dont mind a town loop now and again, good for a gelato or tapas. Plus everyone must do it too.
Going through florence on Italy divide was a nightmare, midday!

Similar setup to what I rode at Badlands - dropbars with big tyres but mine had aerobars because I didn't want to uncable the dynamo. He looks to have smaller chainring too.

The Northcape-Tarifa route was great, quiet roads and nice views. It did feel like it was made to be a touring route at times rather than for fast racing, doing a loop on cobbled streets around some nice old town etc.
And there has been some confusion on what is allowed and what's not.
It was more of a road race but there was maybe 300km of gravel, some of it very rough, but ridable on a road bike.
Iberica traversa does look like a great route from what I've seen. Probably a hardtail with fast tyres and aerobar or gravel bike with mtb tyres would both be good. Kind of like Badlands?
