I would try to team up with someone before doing that. My strom had 50 50 tyres and a bash plate. Im not a very good gravel rider, so i found it quite challenging. Its quite a bit different to Molesworth. I had always assumed that they are more or less the same but they’re not.
I dont know whether the current condition is normal or whether it will inprove. The locals would know better.
It is a stunning bit of road though.
