When I started cycling 7 years ago I did a lot of cyclo’s to change up my rides. Up until last year I did a lot of gravel events because it’s not very easy to build good gravel routes.

This year however, I haven’t yet entered a gravel event because these prices are truly getting out of hand. I get the rising costs but 35 euro’s to get a GPX, fill my water bottle and get a waffle from Aldi is insane.

It even used to be that you would get sport bars at the stops but even those are no longer included.

And I know, you can enter gravel events organized by MTB clubs for 9 euro’s or so. But usually those suck bigly.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
