Wow, my quick off-the-cuff analogy was not thought out to be internationally understood. My bad! I know this forum has worldwide participants. So funny to see this “gravel riding” post go off the rails on such a simple term! I meant potato chips, the packaged fried snack food, which easily...

...about a 22 mile ride

I had to reconnect with my analog bike...

Carbon rims are not potato chips... pro MTBer riders use carbon rims on some janky stuff. and hit the ground hard. I agree with stompandgo, that natural terrain you (charge) ride is pretty intense and far, far from gravel! But beefy carbon hoops (35mm) do exist and could handle it. I don't race...

Sunset ride yesterday, before the rain. saw a few small groups of deer, the last group was a during the golden hour! and video: A 15% dirt climb, lots of ruts from the run-off.

Sorry, no stats from me. My top reasons for riding gravel: - Access to beautiful views, away from obstruction - Terrain diversity on a single ride - Less vehicle traffic, though never devoid. But I have my rear radar. Unfortunately, in my county, there are very few gravel or dirt access...

I had to pose for a photo next to this cool sign today. I have seen it going by in the past, but today I crossed onto side path…a horse trail fittingly to get a better look. I did a 25 miler, mostly road and about 2 or 3 miles on trails. Saw the Mounted Patrol name on maps when planning rides...

Jeremy, that Magicshine SEEMEE 300 rear light technology is really cool! I watched review and promo videos. It looks legit! no personal experience with it. It is fairly new. I think the 300 lumens is bright enough based on my experience with lights from 20-350. As you pointed out the mounting...

@Jeremy McCreary Yeah, clear communication is key. Nice that you suggested that for signage. I just found this sign humorous. I LOVE vernacular design. My background is design and usability, so that is a factor. and the Creo is great, it brings me everywhere....loving it.

Garmin edge has the same issue ( I use a 1040 ). Sometimes it stays at the same speed. But as Stefan stated, there is an option in Strava to correct the speed, and other factors. I recently did this and then exported my strava event and uploaded to RWGPS.

No photos from the ride, just a typical 20 mile route near my house, but when I stopped briefly (to lower air pressure) at a park where I ride my MTB, I noticed the detailed warning signs in the parking lot to not leave valuables in your vehicle. This is a very common warning in many, many areas...

I need to find some Fall foliage !

Brave man! Ride safe!

if you have a specific trail that is awesome! you can experiment. It is when you venture out to unknown trails where tires and pressures come into play! Another thing...MTBers typically rides a wider front than rear. So if you are headed to unknown trails, wider front for more traction is a...

via Butt dyno. and on the rare occasion of riding with friends, I check their set up. My 15psi MTB friend has been influential! he is lighter than me, but it fun to experiment!
