Palouse Pavé
509/ATBL
Farm roads lattice through the hills surrounding Pullman, Washington. Dirt, gravel, sky. Barley, wheat, legumes. Rusting ag equipment and onlooking cattle more numerous than motor vehicles. The Palouse, a region described as the Tuscany of North America 🧐️, is an un-storied cycling destination with legit potential.
Run What Ya Brung
Take into consideration that the Palouse is hilly, generally remote and exposed. Gearing preference will depend on your level of climbing enjoyment. I’d say min width for gravel would be 33mm. These are my setups:
