Today we're doing our first ever gravel race, the Vermejo Charcoal Burner at Vermejo Ranch in Northeastern New Mexico. As you know, we usually race mountain bikes and have been known to whine and complain (not to mention get dropped) on road sections, but we both hate having weaknesses in our riding game, so maybe it’s finally time to give gravel racing a shot.
