Got my gravel bike and my first gravel ride already had the views to die for.
Wow that view is stunning!
Can you explain what makes it gravel bike as opposed to a mountain/off-road bike, or are the terms effectively synonymous?

it's like a road bike with wider tires, nothing special - it's much faster on light gravel and pretty decent on pavement as well.
Beautiful mountains! I deeply crave moving to a mountainous area in the states.
i heard boulder is the place to be for cycling on more than one occasion :)
I will check it out!
Nice view! Also was it a pain in the ass(literally) to ride on rough surface? I'm really interested and plan to purchase my first bicycle this year:)

I wouldn't really say literally, but it's definitely a learning curve. I did not expect it to be that technical from the photos I saw beforehand, but it was full of holes and loose sand on some places, and regular ramps of 15%-18%. I could do with an 11-40 instead of the 11-34 it came with rofl.
