Nice. I'm right behind you time wise at 315hrs, had to take 2 weeks off recently because of some knee problems. Distance wise I'm at 4820 miles but a lousy 235,680ft, all of that on a mountain bike though. Contemplating a road bike for next year to put in more miles. Also jealous of moab, post pics when you get back.

2400 is pretty good since you run/swim. Time to ditch the runners and speedo though and go all fred all the time!

-130.6 miles but who's counting
I think I have a pretty high trainer mileage count but havent done it in a while. I bet I'm close to 700 miles [just checked: yep!] some of that is last year but I bet 600 is this year lol
post hip injury I have backed off of everything tho

I just looked us up on strava last 4 weeks
stickaz 65mi/week swirls 25mi/week
Basically I was probably in the lead until I wore myself out around labor day.
On running it's teh opposite, but I'll never catch up as he trained for a full. But of course I have more vertical in 4-5 weeks than he has in the year.

I really like the tarmac for a road bike. But that's what it is.
But if you're in a specialized shop look at the roubaix or diverge if you're looking more mixed purpose.

I've got 2,500 on dirverge I road a tarmac (or sora, wtf) in ireland
Huge differences. Diverge is a touring bike mostly. Hell most gravel grinders are. Longer rear stays, lower head angle all makes is more sedate handling. The gravel grinder just means a tourer with a little more BB height, wider rims and tire clearance.
7mm more of tire makes it more comfortable, able to go offroad, and again less knife edge responsive. That means for both side-to-side, but also when you stand up.
My impression is 23mms really direct your power to the ground, 30mm have so much air volume, height, and weight(espeically the stock tires). I dropped to lighter weight 28m all seasons and even that helped.
That said, the clearance on a tarmac is 23mm or 25mm. A diverge(depending on which one) goes upto 35mm? 40mm?? I mean that's 1.5". You can cover some very interesting ground on that sort of width. But with a smaller rim you could drop down to 25mms. (the frame angles will still be a factor of course)
That tire width is a big factor. IME
Wieght is another. Most diverges come with braze ones for racks, fenders, ets. Longer overall length, etc
