Just getting into the gravel scene

Life long MTBer / single track. Normal rides are either my Trek Marlin 5 or Marlin 6. What started as wanting something for gravel access roads with the kids, or greenways turned into finding one of the Ozark Trail G1 Explorers. Honestly, coming from my Trek to this bike, I was rather impressed for the price. First stop was taking it to my normal shop for the much needed “undo what the Walmart employee did” tune. I’ve put roughly 50 miles on this bike in 3 days lol. Now I’m down the rabbit hole of storage and bike packing accessories lol. Roast it, it’s fine. But it works. I do have plans for a better 1x drivetrain at least.
