DON'T JUDGE ME

MAYBE THAT'S THE APPEAL OF GRAVEL RIDING? It's just totally wrong in so many ways.  It's a road bike that is much slower than a mountain bike on real trails.  And, a mountain bike that is pig on smooth dirt and pavement...

... a true jack of all trades and master of none.

The notsoobvious thing about such a bike is that by riding one there is a lot of mastery to be gained.

Riding with the group on a gravel bike with fattish tires will only improve our power. 
Likewise letting it rip on fast and loose dirt roads increase our bike handing ability. 
Looking to uncover the lost art of picking a clean line over rough terrain there's nothing better than skinny knobbies and zero suspension to sharpen the skills.

So, when the Stravaverse questioned...

... Single track on a gravel bike?

I could only reply...

... Yes. Don't judge me.

 As I get closer to the the feared and terrible Crusher in the Tuschar, I'm starting to ride the gravel bike more and more...

... trying to master the jack of all bikes.

One thing that will make that trip a lot easier is packing all my gear like a pro with a RaceDay Bag™.

When I see people still using dome duffle bags and rifling through all their shtuff...

... I just have to laugh.  Such a waste of energy and time.

The bags are never on sale... we make them right here in CA for racers just like you.
