I wish I had found this topic earlier, definately some quality material here. :)

This was last week on a local gravel section. The Propel behaved admirably.

Rode a 100km mostly gravel loop in the hills behind Mt Dandenong last Sunday.

Danny on one of the many quiet dirt roads to Kurth Kiln Regional Park.

The Kiln the park we rode through was named after. It was used during the Second World War to make charcoal for gas producer units fitted to motor cars.

Thanks CulBaire. Still not back racing as the shoulder is still really weak, but don't think it will be far off given how it handled the rough roads... :D

Surprised how those old vans last out in the elements eurperg given the harsh winters!

Basilic, you went up the Saleve this weekend? Wasn't it too cold up there?

I live in Geneva too (Eaux Vives). Have been taking my 2 week season end break from the bike but starting back again as of next again.
