would love to take one of mine up to gap creek one day. i've never been there, how much is actually rideable on a CX?
I rode all the trails there last weekend - sure some were slower going than others. But other than strict downhill trails, I reckon any single track is rideable on a CX bike. Even with my amatuer skills

Makes dropping the saddle easy and the tight corners coming off a slope or a hill much more fun than going over the bars. Maybe just me but I find youl get more out of your bike as you start your off tar ride drop your height, finish your ride raise to normal and ride home.
Yeah good idea I'll have to find one. I'd love to get a dropper post - it's on the wish list one day. I used to ride MTB a little bit so I'm okay riding with the current setup. I've only had one stack in a rock garden where the front wheel got jammed and I went OTB. Lower seat position might not have helped me with that one.
