Hi,
Anyone familiar with the Folsom Lake trails that TBF is using for the Gravel X triathlon at the end of the summer? I’m curious how technical they are. They pitch the race as being gravel, which I take to mean that gravel bikes are a good choice, but I looked up the trails (https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/2503849/granite-bay-trail) and they look kinda mountain-bikey.
Thanks

Just did a gravel event here in NY that had some singletrack (and I ride my cross bike on trails often) that I would classify as intermediate (like the Folsom trails you linked to). Intermediate trails are very doable on a gravel bike, but be prepared to get off the bike when the people who are not prepared stop at every change in the terrain. Any chance you can pre ride them or at least get some practice close to you?
