Gravel Grind West 2021 Extended Highlights
A 100km gravel event starting at the Quay Westport via the Great Western Greenway to Furnace lakes outside Newport. Then things gets challenging as the route heads toward the Bangor trail before turning and back towards Westport.
It is challenging, remote, off-road with amazing scenery. The route suits all off-road and gravel bikes.
I used a PlanetX Tempest gravel bike with:
1x Shimano GRX Groupset
42mm WTB Resolute Tubeless Tyres @ 40psi
Hammerhead Karoo 2 bike computer for navigation
