...you know you're on gravel 'coz it's smoother than paved?

That looks fun, and I've enjoyed following Ted King's adventures over the years. Does it sell out?

It sold out it in its first year.

I'm tempted to sign up for next year! But I don't usually plan that far out.

I've been wanting to go back to Vermont ever since my first visit (only a few years ago). Also, maybe I'll get a gravel bike! Registration doesn't open until November, so I have some time.

I would almost be willing to fly halfway round the world for an event that calls itself Rooted. Brilliant.

@luliski my moment of immaturity aside (above , I would love to get to Vermont some time. And other parts of the East. My many adventures in the US have never got me past CO, except a few days in New York.

I finally did look this up. I have family that moved to New Zealand from Argentina, but this slang has never come up in conversation.

Rooted VT registration starts in a couple of days. I think I am going to claim three spots. Not sure what Bonnie will think of being roped into this, but I’m sure I can trade he’d spot if she’s not feeling It.
