Sunday Ride - Hahndorf and Women Down

Women Down

We had some bad news with Nina having a front tyre blowout as she was descending the steep hairpin on Woods Hill Rd on a Tuesday morning ride. The result was that she hit the bitumen at speed resulting in 6 stiches above her eye, concussion, and lost skin. We are waiting to hear if she has a fracture, so fingers crossed it’s okay.  Best wishes from all the BG Nina we hope you get well soon.

This Sunday was scheduled as Anything Can Happen, what did happen was ex tropical cyclone Tiffany. Apart from being an oddly sweet name for a ferocious and terrible storm it has meant Sundays weather forecast has flip flopped between great riding weather and wet season in Darwin. I have set a basic beach ride.

Anyone up for a Ride down to Williunga Hill next Saturday via Sea to Vines or Hills back roads.
