Yes, the trip was between the 29th (Ambert, Auvergne region) of october and the 9th of december (Marrakech). My friends ride with his Surly Straggler / Spe Pathfinder 43mm tires, for the road parts his gravel was better but of course, for the worst gravel roads and some MTB singletracks, my setup was really really more adapted. We changed our chain at ~1700km, a bit before crossing the sea between Tarifa and Tanger.
