If you know where they are, you can put together some fantastic rides with decent elevation and varied terrain. I like to think so, and it's every bit as fun as it looks. I just got back from a 70km ride with about 65/35 gravel/pavé to pavement, and I can honestly say, until this bike I never thought I'd go single tracking on a drop bar...now I'm actively looking for it!
