VOLOG – Packing the trails for VOMAR and some other shenanigans.

As with all VO events, VOMAR is a celebration of Vermont's ancient road network also known in gravel parlance as "Vermont Pavé." In this VOLOG we took the Bumble out to start the packing process for the ride.

The Self-Navigation Dilemma

With more and more gravel events showing up on the calendar, it’s high time we had a thorough discussion on the somewhat controversial issue of course signage and self-navigation. Course signage can make or break a gravel grinder.
