My mechanic was just in and showed me some shots of the engine strip down. It turns out that there was 500 ml in the crank case and 700 in the tranny. 700 should be in both so some has gotten out or burned off but not enough to completely seize the engine. The strange part is that the bottom end is smick. The barrel looks like new and the piston, crank and bearing are perfect. The head however is a completely different story. It looks like something dragged out of Hiroshima! One valve has been welded closed and the whole thing is just a charred mess.
He is at a loss to explain how the head could be so burnt out when there is no damage at all the the rest of the engine. At least that will save me a bit of coin though. I will update as I know more.

Think about it Scott you were around nick the morning after chicken patties for tea. Perhaps you caught an air of full of straight methane to which your bike added the spark – instant Hiroshima.

I think I have worked out my hill climbing issues from this photo as I notice everyone else rides their bikes not takes them for a walk.

This has to have been the best obt tail ride of all time. Incredible organisation catering campsite and brilliant riding with a top group of blokes. 60 k yesterday 160+ today Took me way out of my comfort level but I made it home thanks to nick spud rob smallholder and Sam. The latter two for helping me on a couple of hills. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaking brilliant. Now to stay awake till at least 8 pm.

About the bridge.

Could you lay some hotmix on it and the approaches and fit some safety rails. Also some air bags would be good.

And for god sake pack a gun there’s a troll living in the creek , I saw it in the photo and its horrible.

The bridge is optional mate , it’s the only way through that section but there will be riders either side to get anyone’s bike over that’s unsure. Plenty of great local riders have taken that option and there’s no shame in that .

As for the troll ….. You wait til he’s had a few at the after party

Nick

I live on chicken tracks ! I will pack extra bubble wrap and a life jacket so I can try the bridge if balls allow!

[Adrian SnowdenMember]

TB he’s probably missing this ride for the same valid reasons you have missed the last 4 Hills of gold rides
