I rode the cycle path and footpath as far as possible but it all got super steep and wet and I was so tired. So from the tunnel I did the old road, and it was a like a raceway. Horrible. Also steep. It’s a tarptent pro-trail in sil-poly. It’s great if you don’t mind worming in and out. I like it a lot but the duplex I have is in every respect (except packsize and weight) more practical.

That looks like a beautiful trip! I like your Cannondale, too. How do you like the HeadShok?

Headshock is fine on bumpy / rough roads but woefully inadequate for stony gravel trails and rocky paths, or mtb stuff generally.
