• Oh, and we didn't take stoves or sleeping pads. Stayed in hotels each night, so travelled light. Since I'd lent one friend my carbon gravel/cross bike, and it turned out I'd seriously fucked up building the frame for my New Gravel Bike, I ended up on my old Croix de Fer.

    35mm tyres and a lowest gear of 34/28 weren't ideal for parts of the ride...
