Last night's "Happy Hour" ride (9mi/1500'). I usually do this ride on my MTB, but decided for a change of pace. It was interesting to compare my gravel vs. MTB times on the climb to Brown Saddle. When it's fairly smooth, even if it's steep, my gravel bike is faster, but the rough sections of the climb penalize me more than I make up for on the smooth sections.
