I’m relatively new as a cyclist and have mostly done road (a Specialized Roubaix) in triathlons. I’m doing a century in December and hope to build to half and full Ironman triathlons. Time will tell whether I shift to a TT.
I have done some great mtb in the Rockies with my brother, a mountain biking fanatic. But I don’t have the easy options out east and I like the rhythms of road more.
I was into MTB for most of my life but switched to road riding and was enjoying it mostly until I discovered gravel. With gravel can still go off-road and even tackled some less technical singletrack. Bonus: I don't have to worry about cars or trucks. I have a plan for cycle the Empire Trail from Buffalo to NYC or at least from Cornwall down to Syracuse and join the trail there. It's just the train back. Amtrak doesn't do bikes going to Montreal. Might have to get a lift from the fam.
Curbing Citi is interesting - 1890s to today, many stages of growth and downfall
You hinted at bike fitting in an earlier post. Are you are roadie or into gravel? Or both?

I would love to try gravel at some point. The technical stuff on MTB both thrills and terrifies me.
