The other option is the Tripster with 50mm tyres :) #gravelbro
What's the killer climb consist of? Killer long, killer steep?

Rode the 12h a couple of times, the Torchbearer once and the 24h once all as a solo.
The course is usually fantastic and when the weather is good it's outstanding. When the weather's bad, it's horrific.
I've not rode it since the current organisers took over it but if it's as good as it used to be it's a brilliant weekend.
Not sure I'd fancy riding it singlespeed. Depending on the course there can be an absolute killer climb every lap.
You don't need to go through the stream every lap, there's a little wooden bridge next to it but it's treacherous in the wet. First year I raced it they opened a sluice gate further upstream on the Sunday morning and it went from a nice little stream to a raging torrent!
