Supreme ride: New Salsa Flyway race-tested at Rouge Roubaix

The new Salsa Flyway replaces the stalwart Warbird as the gravel race bike in the Minnesota brand's lineup. After riding the stock top-end model around Colorado, I took a Flyway with different tires and wheels to Rouge Roubaix, a mixed-surface, 105-mile race in Louisiana. Go race Rouge Roubaix next year! https://www.rougeroubaix.com/ -- Want to see what I'm testing and where?
