Weekend Review
We live in an area that gets a lot of tourists on summer weekends, so there are some places that are best visited on Sunday late afternoon, when the tourists have packed up. Cooper Lake is one of those places. While Beth played on her stand-up paddleboard, I rode my gravel bike for an hour. I'm still learning how to ride gravel and I'm getting better but I'm still not accustomed to going so much more slowly than on my road bike. I rode only 8.5 miles in an hour, though that included 1,100 ft of ascent. My normalized power was 209 which is pretty good for me.
Earlier in the day we caught a fawn peaking in our kitchen glass door before we headed to the deck to have a video call with our son and daughter.

Last day of the trip. The mountains were hidden by the clouds but somehow, it was hard to complain. I could get used to these sunrise rides.

With a Gravel bike all routes are open to you: Whether you tackle the fast after-work ride or the extended weekend tour, whether on trails, gravel or asphalt. With a Gravel bike you simply don't have to worry about where to ride anymore. You just ride.
Gravel bikes are the best choice for riders who want to ride on both urban roads and rural trails, without losing precision or speed on both terrains.
Gravel bikes, also called adventure bikes, are tougher than traditional road bikes, and more agile and faster than mountain bikes. They are designed to cope with many different surfaces and offer the possibility of carrying backpacks or bags.
A gravel bike is intended to be more durable and robust than a standard road bike. The frame geometry, head tube and bottom bracket are designed to offer more stability and comfort. It has wider tyres for tackling dirt, mud and gravel roads with ease and a wider gear range.
