Who'd a thunk we were on the verge of a "thing"? But then again, there were guys riding those gravel roads long before we ever got around to doing it. Godfather? To us, that was that cool movie where they put a horses head in the guy's bed.jdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280018145886483138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-38258889276481368282019-01-17T10:07:01.173-05:002019-01-17T10:07:01.173-05:00@Iowagriz- You said," If the team tactics and...@Iowagriz- You said," If the team tactics and group dynamics of road racing come over to gravel, then the scene will lose a bunch of people that are riding gravel to escape that culture."<br /><br />I say, "Or they could be riding at one of over 500 events where team tactics won't be happening."<br /><br />The point being is that there are TONS of events you can choose from and there is definitely something for everyone.

But my take would be that the pro concept could run gravel racing. In other words, team tactics would ruin gravel racing (for the front 20%). Rumors of that happening locally last Feb with a team working for a leader against solo riders (I haven't dug deeper on that either). Gravel racing was always about the solo effort. Sure, some people would work together and share the load, but they were still racing against each other. If the team tactics and group dynamics of road racing come over to gravel, then the scene will lose a bunch of people that are riding gravel to escape that culture.Iowagrizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801399715901347033noreply@blogger.com
