Went to visit some friends near Colorado Springs this morning. Great weather and left early enough to miss most traffic.
Rode a few miles on a gravel road to get to their place. Had a few dicey moments, but kept the rubber side down. The skinny front tire seems to dig into the gravel rather than up on top of it. For the most part, I kept the speed down and just let the bike plow it's way through the gravel. It appeared that any more than subtle steering input would probably cause the front to wash out.
Anyone have any additional tips for gravel roads?
Took a break at the rest stop at Monument Pass on i25. I'll work on the scenery next time!
