I'd be inclined to map the whole thing as smoothness=horrible if that's the 
dominant impression. The worst bits look like some I've seen near Marlborough 
(Wilts) where it was off-road motorbikes that had done the damage, and still 
were on the day I was there pushing my mountain bike.

Other bits look like hard work on a gravel bike or similar, but doable at the 
moment.

Little bits of "horrible" micro-mapped in a the middle of a better grade of 
smoothness would be an awful lot of effort to help no one.
