Yesterday I went on a solo 50 mile gravel ride. The farm roads and weird places in my area are fun to explore. I also found a 37 mile gravel race to enter on oct 27th. Its oddly short so it sounds like a blast. Lastly, I had time to weigh the crux its a little heavier then I thought, as it turns out the first scale was off. Two different scales came in at 18.13 LBS (no pedals) take off the 3 bottle cages the 3rd seatpost bottle mount and it is sub 18. [MENTION=112127]johnnytheboy[/MENTION]

Fall and spring weather are the worst because it's unpredictable, will be dry and sunny then the second you start riding, it's pouring out. Winter is better because it's just cold and rainy all the time so you can dress without worry of weather changes.
Expect to get hailed on a couple of times a year too, it's a blast.

i'm one of those weird people that weighs my bike the way i actually ride it.
pedals, cages, garmin mount etc....but again..i'm weird.
mine with all that ^ weighs in at 20 on the nose, and these bb5's are way more than your canti's. makes me feel good.
where's that gravel race you're entering? i might be interested.....

today i just finished a 42mi recovery road ride on the crux.
finished at 583mi for the month. also, in the top 9% in strava's "the extender"...not that i even know what that means.
legs dead, sunburned, dehydrated....days like this make me love bicycles more and more.

oxymoron. 42 mi is likely too much to promote recovery, relative to not riding at all. even at grandma pace
hell yes!
hell yes!
