That’s a fun ride. I did it a few weeks back on my "gravel bike" which is a Santacruz Chameleon with a 150 36 fork. There are a few parts of that route where a gravel bike is like mixing pancake batter with butter knife. Way too rough. You can do it but it’s the wrong tool. Most of that ride is perfect for a gravel bike though. I may go that way at some point when the hardtail is ready to be put out to pasture.
