Did about 45 miles on the New River Trail which is a mixed gravel rails-to-trails path shared with hikers and horsers. The latter of which turned parts of the trail into a lumpy moonscape.

The bike did fantastic.
The 32mm Gravelking SS worked very well on hardpack/coarse/medium sized gravel, only getting a little squirrely in the loose fines. Nothing scary, but def noticeable.

Surprisingly, the tires picked up a good bit of rock, either slinging it or rolling it around under the fenders.
I have no idea how you CF folks sleep at night knowing how much the downtube gets peppered on every ride.
