Gravel Racing in Michigan

I’m in Chapel Hill. Not sure if you are familiar with the area. There are some really fun gravel trails in the Chapel Hill / Duke forests. I’ve managed to piece together a 50 mile route that has about 20 miles of unique gravel, and those 20 miles are really fun! More elevation and twists-and-turns than Michigan. What I miss, though, is being able to leave my house, get on gravel within a half mile, and then ride peacefully on gravel for basically as long as I want without ever seeing a car. It’s just different.
