The JCB should have been the clue, we used to work in quarries with diggers and lorries whizzing everywhere and the occasional explosion as they blew a new load of chalk ( a lot of the guys who worked there had Ammonites as garden ornaments, some of them quite large )Shouldn't you do that before the JCB started digging?? Or does this explain why they're so many holes in our roads. 🤔
On a side note well done on yesterday's ride, I must give it a go myself as it's quite a few years since I've felt stiff in the morning
