We will get down there and do this - just not quite as soon as we wanted.
Might take you up on that when we do

Bike could very well be up to it - the rider would be the problem!

How doable is the Rainbow on road tyres? (Mulltstrada)

You could do the Rainbow on almost any kind of bike with any tyres at the moment ,we did it two up bout a week ago with a smooth rear tyre no probs. Just a couple of bumpy fords to be careful on but the surface is all hard and dry at the mo

Thanks for that.

Personally I think doing the rainbow both ways is better than Molesworth- rainbow loop. The Molesworth gets a bit dull but the rainbow rocks.

As for doing the rainbow on raod tyres, I thought I was doing pretty good in full adventure pose when a BMWK75 2up went past from the other way

What about that DR650 2-up that blasted past us a couple of times

Perhaps.
But it's a bit different if you have never done either of them.
