As fields have gone from 35 to 50 for the big gravel races to, now, 1500, 2000, and more, I don't find gravel as much fun. I have cancelled all my plans to do intentional gravel in 2020.
Having said that, my OPEN (gravel bike) is almost certainly the bike I will ride into the future, wherever I go. It's just a great bike.
