As a road/gravel man, I made the mistake of taking the gravel bike over the Green Cleugh - the first couple of k's I had to walk; you might be able to ride tubeless 38's if you're lucky, but the pass was made for 2 1/2 inch 29's, next time I'll take the hard tail. Great Sunday morning hangover cure, none the less.
