Typical weather
November usually brings cool, comfortable racing conditions, though an early cold snap or a late warm spell are both in play.
Who it favors
Gravel rewards durable all-rounders. You need the aerobic engine to ride for hours, the punch for steep pitches, and the discipline to pace your own effort and fuel when there is no group to hide in.
