First proper gravel ride today. Went up to Tollymore Forest on the Mourne Mountains. Managed to do some climbing. Then had a fall / crash on a descent (wheel got caught in a cavity in the gravel and splat). Bike ok. I'm a little scraped and bruised but ok. Managed to take post crash adrenaline and get myself lost there until the adrenaline went away and i needed to rest. Found a way back to the car after some more climbing and descents.
Good experience even with falling off the bike. But i need more fitness for some of the climbing.
