1 is too many but 3 is ridiculous and wasteful. Three families left to grieve and wonder at their loss. Such sorrow in our riding. We HAVE got to ride to the conditions, that means not flat out with nowhere to go if things go wrong. I'm sure we all go feral from time to time and ride the things as hard as they'll go. How do we slow ourselves down? More track days?

sadly 3 familys hurting because people cant be accountable and sensible.
as you say we all have our play , but pick your time and place .
Hotham, spur, reefton and GOR are not the places to pick .

condolances to the familys.

actually going up there this weekend... so will be taking it easy

Unfortunately we came across a rider down and not in good shape airlifted hope he survived other than that had a ball.

Oh and Doc
without trying to upset people three out off four of those roads are great fun roads as long as you stay well within your limits GOR is just plain dangerous.Rider limits vary as we no if your more than 8/10 ths on the road you need to back off and have a think
