You're really testing my memory! I think it was getting pretty late in the day and we didn't want to ride in darkness, so we took the faster route along the road to make it to camp in daylight.

@@Biggsy76 that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying.

I had no problems at all with the drop bars. I did have a redshift stem for some extra comfort, but drops were fine. There's no technical single track that really needs mtb flat bars. The main thing you want is larger tyres for better grip in the sand and pea gravel. I ran 50mm gravelkings.

Gravel bikes were absolutely fine, I ran 50mm panaracer gravel kings, a little smaller would have been ok too. There was only a few very short sections of pea gravel or deep sand that I needed to walk. I think it depends a lot on the time of year tho, when it's been really dry the pea gravel and sand can be worse.

Thanks, glad you like it, and thanks for the tip on the title, fixed it!

There's a plan top build 100k of trails around great lake and a lot of locals don't like the idea. nimby's.

That depends on a few things, like level of "what if" you're prepared to risk, your bike skills, and if you have a sat-phone to call for assistance. Most of the trail is absolutely fine, but there's a few tracks that have sketchy descents etc, and phone coverage is very patchy. We were very fortunate and had a mostly mechanical and accident free trip, and fantastic weather.
