The only thing that justifies having a gravel bike over a hardtail is that is still a decent road bike. Remove that and you just have a shit MTB.
It's been more fun recently riding off road on the CX/gravel bike recently as any single track it can't handle is just bogs at the moment anyway. It's just made riding off road a bit more interesting for the meantime whilst things dry out or I'm gonna ride somewhere with good drainage
Ah parks, cycleways and the like, I used to do quick cyclocross loops on winter but since lockdown is all families everywhere.
Slicks, mudguards and road until everyone finds something better to do.
