Toying with riding the Camel Trail in Cornwall, as part of a longer route in the coming weeks. I was wondering if it's safe to ride on road tyres, or if gravel is recommended?
Lovely. Not too worried about time/speed, more worried about punctures for that stretch as I'd like to include it as a part of a circuit from the hotel.Did it a few years ago, from memory I'm pretty sure it is mostly tarmac or smooth gravel and would be fine on a road bike. Can't even remember which bike I used but do know my wife was riding surprisingly fast and heading up the family peloton like a pro lead-out rider!
It can get busy, 'traffic' and randomness are you biggest issues. You will be fine if you are laid back about progress.
That's sick thatRide what you brung is absolutely fine all along it.
