Gravel is cycling's hottest new discipline, and for good reason. Blending the best elements of off-road and paved-road cycling, gravel is purpose built for adventure - however you define it. Whether you're mapping a mega route or simply linking up pavement and dirt for a lunch lap, gravel is truly a catchall for a mixed-terrain ride. That said, your gear choices are unlimited as well. Here are some of my favorites.
Betsy is a journalist and mountain athlete. She lives in Carbondale, Colorado where she explores singletrack, gravel roads, and the natural world by foot and bike. After five years as a cycling journalist for Outside Inc., she has a wealth of knowledge about the best places in the world to ride (as well as eat, drink, and explore off the bike). She has guided for Wilderness Voyageurs, the Cyclist's Menu, and Aspen Cycling Tours and speaks Spanish fluently. Betsy is an avid — as well as responsible and thoughtful — traveler; however, she's also a sucker for an ill-advised adventure.
