New Bike! (Don’t worry, my spouse already told me to take future pics so you can see the gear set)
I have always been a casual rider with more of a leisurely bike, but my spouse started gravel cycling a few years and after volunteering at their last big race, I decided I wanted to spend more time joining group rides and hanging with gravel friends, so I tried riding our Specialized 52 (initially thought it fit). It was unfortunately much bigger than I realized and caused a lot of issues, so I got this Specialized Diverge Sport in the 49 size. Carbon frame. Shimano GRX 600. Have since added a frame protector as well. Excited to ride this more - already very much more comfortable and I have a bike fit coming up to help fine tune some of the alignment. Working on more time in the saddle and prep for what is hopefully my first gravel race at the end of September!
