ahhh see, because A, not all roads are made of asphalt! and B, not all bikes ridden on roads not of asphalt are cyclocross bikes! its a slippery slope but dont overthink it. if you want to call it the "Zombie apocalypse, long distance, now bombed out road going, feral dog avoiding bicycle thread" that would be fine too. id like to assemble that build.
