Tips from Jess Cerra

If you’re setting out on your first grind or looking for recommendations to upgrade your gravel setup, read on for pro rider Jess Cerra’s tips and go-to gear.

Get the Right Ride

Thinking of toughing out the groads on a road or mountain bike? Jess says getting a gravel-specific rig “will give you a confidence boost because it’s designed to not only handle off-road terrain but take some of the beating so your body doesn’t have to.”

Tools for the Open Groad

Jess has never heard anyone at an event say “I was too prepared.” Stay ready for anything with tools for roadside repairs to keep the journey going.

To stay glued to the ground, Jess recommends wide, knobby tires that offer extra handling benefits, and roll quickly on pavement for mixed terrain riding.
