It’s been a long time coming. The first one we did, his bike’s tyre got a huge gash in and he had to turn...

    the persistence of gravel, and a good time!

    Sometimes one needs to be alone, out in the open, on your bike. The ride turned out to be just that. My riding partner for the day (his forum name is withheld due to possible defamation :twisted: ) already informed me the previous night that he is planning a heavy night. Mmm, taking into...
