The pro opinion
“I’ve lived in Girona for 10 years and thought I knew all the roads until Dave introduced me to some of the sickest gravel rides, some serious gems that were hiding in plain sight. It’s unadulterated fun getting shown these trails, with the best company, good laughs, and a fair covering of mud.”
Nathan Haas, Pro Gravel Racer, Colnago
“I was new to off-road riding and the gravel routes that Dave showed me have not only opened my eyes to the opportunities to improve my fitness and skills, but have been an absolute hoot to ride. Some special places and fun times, with decent coffee and food popping up when we needed it. Full marks.”
