Where to ride??

I just got a gravel bike ~3 weeks ago. While I haven't had a chance to proper gravel ride yet (and probably won't be able to as it might rain until spring) I have enjoyed not planning my routes and just heading out to explore. Yes, I found some gravel and short trails, but mainly I just enjoy knowing I can ride pretty much any where I want to. There is a ton of debris on the roads here, and like one snowflake fell someone and they dumped tons of gravel all over the roads, that now just fills the bike lanes. On my road bike, it would have been the end of the season, not anymore. 

Here is another resource for finding gravel rides:

And while this doesn't show you only gravel routes... it can be used to find them. You have to have a strava account to zoom into the detail you need, but if you have a general idea where gravel roads are, you can use this heatmap to zoom in a see where people are riding. If you see a road that has a hot heatmap, then is turns cooler but continues... well that is where the asphalt ends and the roadies turn around. =)

Select the ride icon to see only cycling too or you get hikers and runners.
