I think I love my Cutthroat. I've hardly ridden my mountain bike this year. I am even dabbling in easy bikepacking. Anyone else?

MTB will always be my go-to, but any time trails are wet or I want to get some big miles in, I love taking my Kona Rove out on the local dirt roads. It's even fun to take the Rove on easy singletrack. I replaced the stock bars (which I think were just road bars) with the widest ones I could find, which makes it much more comfortable and stable (for me anyway). I have friends who love their flat-bar gravel bikes, and tbh as a mountain biker I get it; drop bar bikes are a BIT TWITCHY on class IV roads. It will be super-interesting to see how gravel bike design progresses in the next few years.

Central Vermont is a gravel-riding paradise, and it's really exploded here lately. We even have some great races and events, including the Ranger in June, the new Roots ride in late July and the very-rugged Overland in Brownsvile in late August.

I absolutely love being able to avoid the traffic on paved roads, which scares me more than anything.

@geargrrl Would love to hear more about your bikepacking adventures!
