Cool.

Yeah got a new chain waiting to go on.
Was more worried that it (the gravel and dust) would make the chain dirty and then it will run bad for the 1500 miles there after. Would take longer to clean than it would to replace with a new chain.

But you'd need to clean the rest of the drive train.

It'll depend on the weather, if it's wet then it'll be very, very mucky. If it's dry a quick wipe over and fresh lube is probably enough.

By drive train you mean cassette? Fair point.

So watch the weather before I leave.
Rain - take chain.
Sun - just wipe it and lube.
