Lots of consistent climbs which made the 6 speed slow going. I'm running Marathon Plus tires (I believe so at least) and they handled the wet roads well. Some of the shoulder had lichen and debris which made me ride with more caution so I didn't wipe out. At this time of year there was some more plant overgrowth on the shoulder so we had some overhanging thorns. My friend's full size bike managed to get a flat but my Brompton held up! In hindsight, my Brompton choice would have been an 8-speed G-Line for a little more stability on the gravel. But hey, any bike can make it if you believe hard enough.

Love to see it OP!
Is that a brooks flyer? Been thinking about switching my b-17 out for one.
