Regular attendance on our Saturday morning Off-Leash Ride, which includes a loop of Homewood’s beautiful Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve and its gravel and dirt trails, convinced Tim that he wanted more unpaved routes in his life than his Fuji road bike could enjoyably accommodate. Fate intervened: we had one more Trek Checkpoint AL 3 Gen 2 on closeout, providentially in Tim’s size. With 40mm gravel tires (and room to go even cushier), the Checkpoint lives for the path less traveled, and is fast and comfy on pavement, too. We have even more capable Checkpoint ALR 3 Gen 3s in stock and (checks inventory…) a Checkpoint ALR 4 Gen 2 on closeout—maybe it’s destined for you? And thanks, Tim, for riding with us and being our customer!
