Does anyone recommend/have gravel focused routes in the central NJ area? I'll take route options north or south too but I like to keep my rides local so I don't eat up the day driving to and from.
Also, my "road" bike is a Giant Escape. I ride her with 32c tires now. Is it worth the extra cash to throw a pair of 38c/40c gravel specific tires on if that's what I plan to ride? (~70% gravel 30% road). Would that change make much of an impact on ride quality? Ideally I would rather have a gravel specific bike but lack that sort of money right now lol I'd like to make the Escape a road/gravel machine...
Thanks for any advice!
