So, I’ve gone and entered the Top Of The Rock Gravel Bike event!

https://www.moredirt.com/article/Top-Of-The-Rock—Entries-Now-Open/6732/

Fancied trying something a bit different and I’ve been really liking my Genesis CdA.

There’s only 4 entries so far though 🙂

Any tips for me then? I’ve gone for the long one as I might as well get my monies worth.

I’m guessing at the very least, I’ll need a fancy frame bag and a fresh beard?

I’ve looked at a few organised gravel rides but I’m struggling to find one that fits my definition of gravel. They tend to look like mountain bike rides with a bit of linking road rather than a road ride with linking off road.

I’ll have to have a proper look at this one, I guess if there are only 4 people doing it I’ve got a podium chance.

Also a 1 in 4 chance of finishing last.

Oh don’t worry, it’ll be me coming last 🙂

It’s kinda my thing.
