trying to pick a gravel route for next weekend. I'm between pic related or extending this loop to make ~31 miles and 3.8k ft elevation gain. This loop would be all gravel forest service roads, and the longer ride would add maybe 7 miles of pavement, being mostly uphill climbing ~1700 ft in that section.
My longest ride so far is ~42miles and 2k elevation, but that was on road. I kinda think maybe stick to the shorter ride until I have more experience, though I believe I'd survive as long as I brought enough food and paced myself.. thoughts?
