My first ever gravel ride

I have been a road cyclist for the past 5 years and only done some gravel routes whenever doing my road rides.

Today I tried my first ever gravel ride, a century ride with abt 50% gravel and it was an experience.

I own a cervelo caledonia 5 and before buying a proper gravel bike I wanted to see whether or not I would like it.

So I went to my LBS 2 days ago (from where I bought the caledonia) and had them fit my cervelo with 35mm wide gravel tires. Just went with their recommendation.

I loved the ride although it was quite scary at times going downhill and falling a couple of times when riding uphill because of mud and loose gravel.

I might still end up doing couple more rides before deciding on whether to buy a proper gravel bike.
