• By that logic, road riding in the UK isn’t really road riding As it doesn’t match the smooth alpine topography ‘true’ road riding belongs to as is advertised.

    I wasn’t aware there was a very concise criteria as to what makes ‘true gravel’ so.
    Ride wherever you want and designate it however you see fit.

  • a very concise criteria as to what makes ‘true gravel’

    Whatever it is I'm not sure it is the kind of boggy or rutted paths that you'd never actually choose to ride. Just as I'm not "gravel grinding" when I ride with my son in the local park. IMHO. If I may.

    Anyway, road cycling in the UK can actually be pretty good, no? You have lanes and Box Mountain and even the occasional collapsed bridge.

  • I think the gravel car park on the edge of the forest comment may refer to my pic..

    Actually this was where the gravel ran out and I was faced with a terrifying mtb black run through the roots... Thank god for suspension.
