This weekend I did a gravel ride, something I enjoy a lot (Gravel Metric, Waterman, IL). Didn't finish building up my all-rounder for it, so at midnight the night before I put my "road bike" in the stand, took off the fenders and 32mm tires and stuffed in the 42mm Cazaderos from the other bike. Zip-tie pump mount to seat tube, borrow second bottle cage from another bike, swap Zimbale saddle bag for Acorn saddle bag, took 30 minutes.
It was like discovering a whole new bike! I loved it. All the things it is on the road - fast, nimble, comfortable, stable - it is on gravel. Plenty of hero gravel, but also rougher/looser stuff, muddy grass doubletrack, plain grass. Also I think it looks kinda boss.
