    I'm craving a gravel bike badly these days because I hardly ride my road bike (Specialized Allez) anymore. I've not been on it once this year.

    We have a 50 mile gravel trail that starts just two miles from my house, through woods and forest preserves and prairies and I'd love to get over there, especially when fall arrives.

    Can't afford one right now but keeping an eye on the 2021 Specialized Diverge models. I love the looks of the Base Carbon model from 2020.

    • How rough is the gravel? I hit crushed limestone trails all the time on my road bike (with 28's).section_014
    • Forest rides are the best, get a cheap(ish) second hand bike or sell the Allez and go all in? I sold my roady and haven't missed it, riding trails is more fun.slappy
    • I cashed in my road bike for a gravel bike and two wheel sets, couldn’t be happier.ben_
