The speaker has spoken, and the gravel has been pounded upon the block.
So shall it be written... so shall it be done.
All come to order.

You guys are killing me. The only crunch I’m hearing is studs on ice.

Rolling over snow and ice is an entirely different crunchy sound, that I haven't yet personally experienced, but I bet is equally satisfying in its own way!

You are crunchy, this is all that matters.
The gravel shall come, and we will celebrate.
Crunch on my friend...

The studs that I have in mind don’t have much artistic impression, can’t do a quad toe loop or flying spin and aren’t that graceful.I got $100 bucks says this is not the studs on ice you were thinking of...
They have, however, been known to take to arena ice occasionally.

i don’t have much taste for the sound of gravel, preferring the smooth whoosh of quality pavement, but we do have a LOT of gravel quite close to the city limits here. takes you some nice places.
super wide gravel
practically single track gravel
scenic and steep “gravel” that is really better describes as ROCKS and dirt
gravel with friends
all these trails are within 8-10 miles from home.

Grew up on a farm with a David Brown 880. My father's pride and joy, despite it being vintage even in the 70s/80s! Fond memories of that tractor and the bigger Fordson Major we had. Once stayed in a hotel in Yorkshire that used to be David Brown's actual house. I was very excited about this and regaled the girl at reception all about our David Brown tractor and all the rest. The bored look she gave me. I mean could she give a s*it...

haha yeah, i have a sneaking suspicion that the reason people love gravel in a lot of places is because they don’t have epic, beautiful, challenging, scenic, lightly traveled paved roads to ride onOMG all this amazing gravel and you don't have a taste for it?? What a shame!
Nah, we're blessed with amazing black twisty stuff AND the crunchy stuff. Give me the slippery stuff any day!haha yeah, i have a sneaking suspicion that the reason people love gravel in a lot of places is because they don’t have epic, beautiful, challenging, scenic, lightly traveled paved roads to ride on

Yeah, actually - I personally love the blend. It's SUPER satisfying to move from a long ride of crunchy to the smooth speed of blacktop. Likewise, it's so lovely to turn off a long stretch of asphalt onto a gorgeous gravel side path. I guess I love the CONTRAST!
