Gravel riding, aka gravel grinding or adventure riding, is an increasingly popular form of cycling that combines elements of road- and mountain-biking, and consisting mostly of distance riding over unpaved roads.

This tends to afford opportunity to discover some incredibly scenic sites that one can only witness during an adventure off the beaten path.
