Picking up my first gravel bike at 09:00. It is now 01:30 and I can’t sleep because I’m excited like a little kid on Christmas. I’ll be going for the ‘25 Orbea Terra H40 with the GRX. I’m now making a list for must-haves where ✅ means I own it and ❌ means I still have to buy it:
– Strava app ✅ (😂)
– Bike clothes ✅
– Bike pump and emergency pump ✅
– Wall mount ✅
– Drink bottles✅
– Bottle rack & bag(s)❌
– Helmet ❌
– Bike computer ❌
– Heart rate strap ❌
– Spare tyre ❌
– Lights – front and back ❌
Anything else I’m forgetting but I 100% should get or at least think about?
Looking forward to join the club! Can’t wait for my first ride. Due to snowfall and ice in the Netherlands that might have to wait a week or so..
