"Gravel road" or "gravel cycling" is a term that covers riding on non-paved roads and tracks.They are a lot of fun, very low-traffic and often pass through interesting areas. They also offer a new type of challenge and a more intense workout. Whenever I see a sign that says " unimproved road" or "unmaintained road" I get super excited. We live in a world with too much pavement and it's kind of nice to get away from it and experience some dirt.
