By the numbers alone, I had no business riding Gravista and zero chance of enjoying it. It’s a 67 mile gravel race in Virginia’s Blue Ridge mountains with 9,000 feet of climbing — all in five or six climbs of three to eight miles in length, depending on how you count them. I don’t typically seek out climbs, and my size puts me at a disadvantage on them. But the numbers don’t tell the full story of any race and Gravista is no exception.
Hey Rick, once again, love reading your blogs! While I've not been inclined (so far) to consider shifting some rides over to gravel, you certainly provided interesting food for thought. Anyway, here's hoping you continue having great bike adventures and keep telling us all about them! Thanks! Greg
Thanks, Swags. You ride for the rest of us.
