Did anyone at the Adventure cycle festival ride the 100km gravel route? If so, do you have any feedback?

I was chatting to a few 'boners' on Sun morning who were unaware of it but sounded like they'd have been keen.

I did it. Really interesting mix of trails and quiet roads. Some of the BWs used are challenging on an MTB and CX bikes were struggling. Lauf Grit forks came into their own. There was a bit of pointless steep climb/turn 170 degrees and descend out beyond Torver (great descent, but probably only in to get the distance). The boys from Ghyllside did a great job of getting it going. It was on the ACF schedule, so not sure why people were unaware.

I've a GPX if someone wants it/wants to upload it.

Likely to be a case of simply not paying attention :wink:
