As someone who is an absolute non-roadie, but a little curious about why the hell people buy a gravel bike, I'm giving this entry level cyclocross bike a go for a bit. Initial thoughts are it feels weird, the cockpit positions are entirely unnatural, but speed and easy climbing are pleasant enough. Did my usual short loop to get a breather between work meetings.
Earliest I've ever gotten out on the trails. Just a short scoot around the neighborhood trails on Monolith
Because the aquatic vegetation hasn't sprouted yet, I was able to find an old mossy beaver lodge. I wonder if it's still in use
