Newbie

Casual Weekend warrior but am finding that the Pacific NW is loaded with Trails - Paved, Gravel, Dirt... a land of biking treasure. Just added Gravel Bikes to the stable. Tons of valuable info here. Thanks!

Welcome. You’ve got some serious hills there. That makes for getting strong.

Hi Siu Blue Wind - Yes, I discovered this site when researching bikes, We've mostly been paved path riders but after a couple of dirt and gravel trail excursions decided a gravel bike best fits our new adventure plans.

Ah yes, we have some... even an annual hill ride or two... chillyhilly, 7hillsKirkland... haven't ridden them but maybe something for the bucket list.

Strong maybe, tired for sure!
