Unfortunately I have none of those things so got murdered at our local race last weekend that was a perfect mix of distance, tech stuff road and gravel.
I think I'm getting old and my sense of what constitutes a fun "adventure" is changing.. I just want to ride my bike in beautiful places. Being "extreme" is not high on my list of to-dos. YMMV.

And since I'm old and not hucking my road bike off drops, or riding it through rock gardens, I'll stick with Campy road bits
