Agreed. The metro west area has trails, paths and misc ways that can be creatively linked for good mixed terrain riding...borderline mtb/gravel. Good dirt roads are further off in central and western MA.
In any case, a gravel bike is useful all around for the wide tires that make our crumbling pavement comfortable.
Yep, two wheel sets with road and with knobbies is a great idea.
