Thanks for the pix. I'll bet that was an interesting ride in that deep gravel!

The gravel was about a 100m stretch that can be seen in pic 6 after the causeway bridge, I didn't carry enough speed into it and got about 50m before stopping, lifted it out, got it running and ran the last 50m beside the bike, totally rooted when I got to the hardpack
