Since e-bikes have a place here, I thought I'd start a gravel thread. We'll see how far this goes... :lol:

I'm not sure I like the direction this is going. Before you know it, we're going to have a Rigid Recumbent Bamboo Fixie Tandem forum.

If any of you are interested in gravel, which really is rigid mtb truth be told, go to Rouleur in Carlsbad Thurday at 530 pm or Sunday at 930 am. Rides start and end there with a good brewery. I have found it fun and met new friends and reconnected with old ones. You can DM me if you want. FYI I have no affiliation with Rouler other than I am a customer.

I’m signed up to do the Rock Cobbler tomorrow, but I tweaked my back on Tuesday and now I can’t even lift my bike to put it in the back of my truck. 80 miles of that silliness is not happening for me.

Bummer, ask Sam if you can roll over your entry to next year. He's a good guy.
