TOUR DE MON 2025 106 miler

For that event specifically I’d say a road bike would be best, however for keeping the bike and using in future have a think about what more you might do with it. If more road-specific riding then a road bike for the road and your MTB for the trails, but I found that a gravel bike gave me the option to link roads with bridlepaths and other trails to open up a whole new world of rides around me.

As well as a gravel bike I also have a road bike and several MTBs; all get used at some point (the road bike is currently on the turbo though).

The Anglesey ride is very lumpy, either up or down. Enjoy. Road or gravel is fine. But remember most gravel bikes are 1x so can be a little compromised on road due to gear jumps. I have a 2x10 Cyclo Cross bike that I use road and off but have two sets of wheels. It has smaller gear gaps so fine on road. Not quite as fast as my road bikes.
