That Birdlings gravel pit at the end of Bossu Rd distributed stones to places I didn't know existed on my bike, haha.
Thought I'd done a serious mischief to the engine but it was just a stone wedged behind the front sprocket and was rubbing on the chain, whew!
Bit of a pic dump.
Thanks everyone who helped make this amazing journey possible. Such a good bunch of like minded adventurers, sharners and full senders, and I can't bloody wait for next year.
I'll be sure to bring half a dozen spare tubes next year at the rate I was going!
