I'm three rides into Gravel riding coming from many years of riding a road bike and whilst this bike is heavier than my old one due to the bigger wheels & disc brakes it has completely put the smile back on my face and if i'm honest i don't care about the weight. I'm no longer bothered about beating my time on a Strava segment, i'm back to enjoying riding. Whilst i am still predominantly riding country lanes and some roads its fantastic to have the ability to go off road and also the beauty of handling the potholed and cracked tarmac and uneven surfaces with ease and comfort not to mention the confidence of the brakes which are amazing. My first attempt on quite rocky trails wasn't as ideal as i wanted until i researched the correct tyre pressure for my weight on the silca website and took the pressure right down and the difference was significantly better. I am five ft 7 and opted for the size small and along with riding far more in the drops than i used to do as its comfortable to do that the handling is worlds apart from my road bike, the steering is instant and i feel like i have full control throughout the ride. The bike is deceptively fast when you get into a rhythm and it corners so well, i could not be happier.
