Which is what I did yesterday just shy of a 60 mile loop I did make one navigation error in that I was passing though some of the military areas, i misremembered where the trail ran, I though it was outside of the fence, but clearly wasn’t and the red flag was up so in use no go! Did take a fair bit of cleaning last night when I got home, puncture seems to have sealed though is quite a old tyre now, and is showing a number or war wounds plus wear so just have to see. Seems to be holding I’ll probably give it a test roll Monday and see how that goes! Roger Merriman
