I got back into road riding last year after @ 20 year hiatus, then my friends urged me to start riding gravel with them.
I found a relatively inexpensive Scott Team CX a little over a month ago to give it a try...
Rode it a few times, then decided to go ahead and jump into the deeper end of the gravel "pool" and ordered an Obed Baseline (more road oriented than their Boundary, but it'll do double-duty as my road/gravel bike with two wheelsets, and I won't be bikepacking so I didn't need the extra mounts).
