Got my gravel bike and my first gravel ride already had the views to die for.

Nice view! Also was it a pain in the ass(literally) to ride on rough surface? I'm really interested and plan to purchase my first bicycle this year:)

I wouldn't really say literally, but it's definitely a learning curve. I did not expect it to be that technical from the photos I saw beforehand, but it was full of holes and loose sand on some places, and regular ramps of 15%-18%. I could do with an 11-40 instead of the 11-34 it came with rofl.
