We've certainly come to appreciate the opportunities/adventures a gravel bike brings.

We also enjoy the "off season" riding opportunity they create.

We of course ride these bikes locally (Little Chute, Wi), But are very blessed to have family accommodations in northern and southern Wisconsin available at any time. 

This has definitely opened up many miles of adventure/exploration for us.

The link below is a very useful resource (pending location data, as it is user built) which the majority of our longer rides are mapped on.

(currently our go to for mapping/routing)
