And whilst riding bikes off road is certainly nothing new, a lot of gravel\u2019s appeal lies in the new sense of freedom it brings with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At its core, it\u2019s just riding a bike wherever you want and whilst specialist equipment can be nice or indeed improve your experience, it\u2019s not the be-all and end-all.

I will explain why these are my favourite pieces of gear for a long ride but, as I said before, you should always wear whatever makes you comfortable and happy.<\/p>\n<p>Take this as a personal account of what I like to wear or use it as tips if you\u2019re not sure what to choose for your first ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best things about riding gravel is that there aren\u2019t really any rules.
