I broke down and bought me my first gravel bike.

I got it from Bike Surgeon in Carterville. I highly recommend them, but most of you already know them!
I'm super excited about it.
I went with aluminum because I can put more weight on it. I want to bikepack more than anything. The thought of riding multiple days on a bike and camping is pretty exciting. And, of course, I'll be making it a video series.
The electronic shifting bothered me at first because I was afraid I'd run out of battery, but the folks at the Surgeon explained it to me and made me comfortable about it, thanks Gabe and Pat, I really appreciate the support.
Should be getting it soon! Can't wait!
