After heavy rainfall few days prior I decided it is time to do my first 50k gravel ride of the year.
It was wet, muddy and many places were impossible to cross on a bike. I had to carry my bike while my feet were deep in a mud and water.
I ran out of water and food.
On the way back my Sram ran out of juice (didn’t charged it prior silly me) and I was stuck in the lowest gear doing 10kmh on a road, last 5k felt like eternity.
Did I enjoyed it? No! Will do it again? Absolutely .
What is wrong with us gravel/MTB riders? Why do we do this to ourselves?

Initially I’ve read this as “Spent my first 50K I earned this year on a new bike” – I was like wow what a flex…
The very first off-road rides of the year are initiatic!
winter mud, cold, rain, etc.
If you get through this, you can take anything later.
km not k. I was like wow guy did 50k km and year just started.
