The next day will be mostly unpaved and include about 25 miles on two unpaved rail-trails.
60 miles of the 150 miles I rode last Saturday were unpaved rail trail, but definitely of the firmly packed, flat variety. I was traveling light however, round trip, no overnight, stopped for meals at restaurants.
Used my CX bike with 35 mm tires, never would have made it on my road bike.
