Gravel bike was my favorite purchase in the last year too. I was already mountain-biking for the last 15 years. Things got more and more gravity oriented, where rides mostly had been one long uphill and technical trails down. While this is pretty cool it got a bit monotonic over time. With the Gravel bike I enjoy doing far longer rides and checking out places I hadn't been before. 70km flat on an enduro mountain-bike are rather cumbersome, but fun on the faster gravel bike.
