Franklin County, Maine, USA
I prolonged my last block of build to push recovery week to coincide with vacation. I’m back in Maine and only brought my gravel wheels so I could hit the dirt again. This is only my second gravel ride, and I enjoy it, but I think I’d like it more on a dedicated gravel bike instead of my road bike. The deep washboards were rough on 31mm tires, and I tend to ‘baby’ my road bike so hearing the chain slap the chain stay made me quite nervous, even with helicopter tape (there were no marks or damage). Maybe I’m trying to make the case for N+1 in my head, too. Still lots of fun!
Squeezed the ride in between passing storms.
