Most of our races were in the 40+ mile range with some going up to 80-90 miles.

Too old for downhill, not fit enough for enduro, and I don't have the finely trimmed beard, quirky fashion sense, or the coffee and cake baking knowledge of the hipster gravel bike set. So if I do stop for a coffee, and cake, whilst out riding, I just follow my nose to find a cafe that offers a decent cuppa, and freshly baked by grandma carrot cake, or Victoria sponge. I also like the odd cream tea, jam first btw.

I do recall seeing Blake in a skinsuit in a past halloween video, he looked ready to go blasting around a velodrome at mach chicken.

I'm a hardtail trail/forest rider, love the satisfaction of completing a hard climb and love the nice fast downhills, but I also love the scenery when I'm taking it easy on the flat

Totally agree that on different days I ride different ways. I honestly ride cross country trail or gravel most. We have lots of great features though do to awesome trail building volunteers (yes I’ve put in my hours too).

How did we go from Gravel to Trail? And not call out XC?
@Pesmog4 жыл бұрын
There is a big gap between gravel and trail that is occupied by an enormous number of non-competitive casual riders.

CX is my favorite, but i do like XC & XC marathons 👌 The type to actually ride uphill instead of walk or lift 🤭

Yep. Many gravel riders I know think they're "too cool for MTB". They ride a very low level MTB intended for city use then think that's all there is to MTB. Funny pretentious people.
