Comfort. Less of the aerodynamics chit chat and more of the \u2018let\u2019s ride for hours on end, get a little lost and feel a million bucks all day\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For the avid gravel grinders, to the novices preparing for your first event \u2013 selecting your clothing for training and race day is an important part of your prep to ensure you rock up to that start line feeling great, ready to face whatever conditions are thrown your way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Black Sheep Cycling are big believers in quality, breathable materials, made for adventure and designed to handle hot and cold conditions. So, you can sweat like crazy, or soak up that unexpected rain shower and still get to the finish line grinning from ear to ear.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/2021\/11\/09\/dont-know-what-to-wear-when-gravel-riding\/s_dscf9791-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10978\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10978\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/S_DSCF9791-1-scaled-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re aiming to give it a nudge and are heading into the event with your game face on, ready to rip those trails to shreds, then Black Sheep\u2019s natural Merino jersey is our top pick for you. Coupled with a pair of trusty Adventure bibs built for all-day comfort, a chamois that doesn\u2019t chafe and handy pockets to carry your essentials on race day. Who knows when that emergency gel or sweet-tooth stash may be needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re more about the laid back vibes, loose fit and just having a good old time out there exploring, then you may be all about the slightly more casual \u2018shorts, tee\u2019 combo. Opt for the Adventure Dirty Shorts and you\u2019ve got your look sorted, you\u2019re prepared for whatever challenges you may encounter out there and you\u2019re guaranteed good feels only. Match that with an Active Cotton or Merino tee and you\u2019ll be raring to rock the trails.
