My gravel race super build: The Ridley ASTR RS with super-wide wheels and narrow bars

At the end of August, I raced the masters gravel national championships; my first ever Nationals in any event, despite having raced bikes for the better part of 20 years since my early teens. 

It was raced partly as part of a race-prep feature we wanted to do here at Cyclingnews, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited at the prospect.
