Hi,

I'm just getting into cycling, so my question is very probably very basic, but I haven't been able to find an answer on Google... I am doing an Edinburgh to Newcastle ride in a few weeks, which I am told will include some off-road sections such as loose gravel paths, etc. The problem I have is that I only have two bikes, one of which is a courier bike with only 8 gears, which I think will be too hard work! The other is a Giant SCR 3 road bike, which I don't think will cope with the off-road sections. I have been advised that if I put wider tyres on my road bike (if there is enough clearance) it might be able to cope with the rougher stuff. Does anybody have any experience with this? I don't want to damage my rims by taking it off road. I was told that armadillo tyres with a 28C width might be okay... any opinions? I would try 32C tyres but I don't think they will fit between the forks.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
