30 miles of Thanksgiving morning dirt in Chino Hills State Park with my riding buddies. The dirt trails were hard packed from the past rain which allowed me to go big chainring and climb out of saddle as opposed to high cadence spin. On the dirt downhill I was ripping 25-30mph on sketchy trail, but it's so much fun! The same roadie techniques such as weight shifting apply to downhill trail riding, but you can do fun things like aim your gravel bike straight into the bend and dirt jump into the turn. I think gravel really comes into it's own in rolling hills terrain and I was dropping MTB'ers with my higher gearing!
