Torino Nice Rally 3 - Kit List, What Worked, What Didn't

I cycled the Torino Nice Rally in September 2022. I took ten days to complete my ride, which was deliberately slow, as no one ever returned from such an amazing adventure saying "I wish I'd gone faster", it was always the reverse. You can see the Short videos I shot and edited during the ride, and the more considered videos produced afterwards in this YouTube Playlist.

While the cycling is excellent it’s not so committing. The route passes through towns and villages where you can find hot food and a bed each night. Our initial plan was to ride only the intersecting sections of three long-distance walking trails - The Speyside Way, the Moray Coastal Trail and the Dava Way. From the beginning we called it The Moray Gravel Triangle, because we had a feeling this would be
