With all of these days falling behind, I presume the hammer will have to be applied later on.

Those caterpillars are little blighters. A few people were on the receiving of their hairy spines when I did a Basque MTB Pyrenees backcountry trip a few years ago. Long socks and shin/knee pads were the order of the day.

Sorry to get geeky. Why did a change of shoes make up for the difference Q-factor between bikes?I'd have thunk that the cleat mount on shoes would tend to the foot Centreline so a change of shoe would not make a lot of difference? I'd have thought shiming the pedal away from the crank face (or crank arms from BB shell) would be what's needed?

Again apologies for interrupting a chilled 😜 tour report with a tech question.
