Thanks Van. I don't know, picking out a handle is so complicated. It came down to the fact that I love the blues, and I want to ride my next bike in the dirt. Good to see ya friend!
Oh, I get the blues reference, the is for the bailout, desertion, perceived slight, abandonment, etc.

Always had a feeling you were being hamstrung by your road bikes.

Couldn't put my finger on it since I don't really embrace it although I do take a short path or gravel stretch sparingly.

And have a route through Gateway green I use on return trips back from BTD that is pretty real deal for me but only about 3/4 of a mile with some fairly serious gravel and a single big ditch that takes some juice to get through so I get a taste once in awhile.
