Thinking of giving a gravel bike a crack

[DougalStrachan]

They seem to get huge fields for the gravel races

A lot of roadies seems to be giving it a shot. The more the merrier I say. Definitely more a 'type 2' activity as they say, I've now done a casual gravel race and a proper gravel race - definitely like the casual one better. MTB races still have a better overall vibe, but it was still a pretty good crowd

I've drifted to gravel due to the constant rain in SE Qld, now that tracks are dry for the 1st time in months MTB is my fix.

We mainly ride gravel 2 days a week because our older friends cant stay on singletrack anymore.
8 of us went away for 3 days , 62 yo to nearly 80 yo to the King River Valley NE Vic.
There are 100s of roads there , it is a very wide valley ,no traffic and quiet.
Recommended : there is a booklet with 8 rides.
