Gravel Blaster

There's been much talk of gravel riding going on in the shop lately, mostly due to the big gravel ride we are hosting tomorrow with Half Acre Cycling. Apparently the kind folks over at Wal-Mart overheard our commotion and sent us this beast:



That's right. The "Gravel Blaster". Complete with full drivetrain guard to keep the dirt out and the chain clean, beefy tires for maximum traction, nice low gearing, and a reversed fork for an extra short wheelbase for dodging animal carcasses. I'll be sure to let you know how she handles tomorrow.
