@Esthetic those are great looking pictures! The family riding on the dirt is awesome and so is the information regarding the D& R. I added that to my list of trails to ride someday maybe.

Some ice on north facing slopes at higher elevation.
The Appalachian Trail goes right over the top of the rock formation in this shot.
This waterfall was way up the side of a very steep slope. I ditched the bike and bushwhacked up. Sidi shoes are not good for rock climbing.

so the blue bike has to be a black mountain canti brake frame with the Pacenti PCB fork.
I can't figure out what the green bike is though and your long list of incredible bikes next to your name doesnt have anything that seems like a modern steel gravel bike.
what is the green frame?

Again- you have a really awesome lineup of bikes listed. Zunow has always been a brand that I would love to have just based on aesthetics alone.

Look like good riding there. Soft landing? Where you riding drop bars?
My "gravel bike" is a XC FS MTB with flat bars and 2.25 in tires.

Man, Iowa likes to brag about having a ton of gravel to ride, which we do, but I the scenery is nothing compared to where some of you get to ride! I love this thread and pics!

It's a little chilly at the moment but I just put a suspension fork on and wanted to take it for a ride anyway. Right from the front door I rode up to a local DH area and down the access road and even a little easy technical single track. We have had some big winds lately and lots of trees are down.

Today I rode 47 miles gravel.
The route had about 50 feet of pavement. This was it.

Daffodils! Spring is coming. Won’t see them for a few weeks up here.
Sounds like a nice ride.

Did a century yesterday with a friend starting at the top of Ramon Crater (world's largest erosion crater) and ending in Eilat in the south of Israel
The bike is ready to go.
Tank practice
That's Jordan over there

Well, it's not Norway but the snows the same.
This was a 30 km ride that spanned gravel, icy hard snow on gravel and crusty sugar snow that felt like loose sand. I was in my granny gear on the horizontal for some of it and could feel the suspension fork bobbing up and down like an icebreaker. Good thing I had Foreigner and Boston on the IPOD!
The 26er is definitely not fast but so far delivers in all sorts of terrain.
