Easy move is just to explore or look for state forest type areas. The hard option is making friends with people that already know where to go.

Easy, take your road bike that does terribly on anything besides pristine asphalt. You’ll find all the gravel and dirt roads your heart could ever desire.

Do you have farms around you? Most of the lesser farm roads around here are packed clay and gravel.

Gravelmap.com or look for segments on Strava that are named with gravel something in them.

[gravelmap.com](http://gravelmap.com) is a tool I’ve found to be useful.
Just following GPS lately has taken me down a lot of gravel roads
Here in Oklahoma just go 10-12 miles outside of town in any direction.
I find it very pleasant. Thank you for asking!

At random and mostly because I didn’t fully scout the route on phone for my “Road” bike ride.
