Squeak squeak. Doing the Stella the week after so would not want to trash the bike so close if it was too rough. So would use the bike I wasn't taking to Italy.

That why I was asking about route. If gravel etc would be ok on DL but if it looks like it could be muddy will try out the serow on tkc.

Far from being an offroad God. as you know not been doing it long at all.

It will be along the lines of Beddowsm which will include Strata florida and a few lanes around the local area, BUT at a more relaxed and easy pace with plenty of stops . If the weather is too bad i will sort out a different route locally, It will be suitable for novices but dont be scarred that you may drop the bike. Make sure you have descent tyres on or you will find it very difficult and only spoil your day
