Your Origin blog?
 
Ah I remember us having that discussion and we couldn't figure out if it was the tenth or not. Awesome! I would have been able to go in 2021 actually, so I guess that gives me 66% with 2022 and 2023.

Was the above statement issued by an official Exxon Valdez liaison officer cos it certainly wasn't Greta Thunberg.......
 
I am up to two.
2022 Rode to Nambucca viae Walcha in the pouring rain. Did a sneeky ride Saturday arvo and got a flat tyre out of Coffs. Came 1/2 way home in a trailer (thanks Soxy) and the other half in the ute!
2023 Via Walcha in good weather but had to push start at Telegraph Point at lunch time. Stator or regulator (still not sure) so made the photo shoot but not the ride! Came home in the ute (thanks to the wife).
100% fail!
