Gravel Cycling Skills - Trying the BMC Urs Gravel Bike on Mountain Bike Trails

To see if I could really test the limits of BMC's gravel bike (the URS-01 Two), I brought it to the mountain bike trails. Riding the singletrack at Domaine 3R in Trois-Rivières Québec seemed like a perfect way to dial in the handling. I'm learning "what's the difference between a gravel bike and a road bike" which includes important nuances like tire pressure (it helps smooth out the ride) and cycling gear choice (I forgot a crucial piece of cycling clothing that I don't always pay attention to when I'm riding on the road).
Wonder how I got there? You'll see at the end when we pack it up to head home to Montreal.
If you have gravel riding tips or discoveries that you can share with me, please leave them in the comments below!

Gotta bring the gloves Lex! Love you’re getting out in the woods. I knew a dude that used to ride a drop bar fixie thru the woods. He was an animal!

So true, lesson learned! This fixie rider guy sounds impressive.
