This year’s Grand Tour from Team Strange is Wheels on Walls. In short, we need to locate and photograph our motorcycle, rally flag with a mural that includes something with wheels, whether that’s motorcycles, trains, trucks, or skateboards. As long as they have wheels they’re in.
Basically, to be a finisher you need to get 20 points where each mural is worth 2 points (yes there are more rules, but this is the basic outline). Obviously, the winner is the one with the most points.
As per last year I don’t have the time to chase all murals but this is a good excuse for a ride and find cool and interesting murals themed around wheeled transport.
Update: Out of 89 starters, 58 finished, and I came 27th with 106 points. The top finisher had 887 points and the highest placed Australian was Simon Bell with 672 points.

And I took my flag with me when we went to the UK riding just in case we found murals while we were out riding.

Glasgow – High St. – 10 June 2023 – this will have to be my wildcard as it is transport with a wheel, not wheeled transport.
