I'm with you that I prefer to MTB, but I'm in SF so the closest MTB that's worthwhile is a 30min drive without traffic. I can pedal out my door on the gravel bike, crank up to Hawk Hill, and take little side excursions on the Mt. Tam trails that would be epically boring on a full MTB, and be back at my apartment in about the time it would have taken me just to do the out-and-back commute to a MTB spot.
