I am planning to use my Seven titanium road bike. The tires are fairly thin. I understand that a good part of the canal trail is unpaved. Are the unpaved parts of the trail packed hard enough to accommodate narrow road bike tires?

that’s a great question - I also have a light aluminum narrow wheel bike . The tires are only for road and maybe a hard smooth surface .
I am not sure yet if I will get better to join , because of an injury .
Happy biking to all
