    I was out on the weekend getting rad on my SSCX on the trails near the North Downs and even when I bust my ass my avg speed is between 8 - 11mph for a 30-40 mile ride. Should I get a gravel bike? Is it going to enable me to see more trails?

    I had a fun gravel bike that got nicked which I replaced with a Pomp at ~52 gi. I'm happy to run up steep hills but that is slower than riding. SSCX to classic gravelbike seems expensive for just a bit of shifting, but is going to XC MTB going to encourage me to get so rad I break another bone? I inherently distrust MTBers. It's for shit like like this:

  • i really enjoy my weirdo rigid mtb on stuff like this, and conveniently, previously just rode it on a SSCX bike.

    it's just enough to travel over stuff like this with less effort, up and down, and get a simulacrum of mountain biking, without risking injury
