Hi all

My girlfriend and I were riding up the Bardon side of Mt. Cootha this
morning with her training bunch when this guy comes flying past us
going down hill. He must have been doing close to 70 around those tight
corners and to top it off - NO HELMET. Just a bandanna.

We get up near the top and another guy rides past to say that he fell
off around a sharp corner. Couple of minutes later we hear an ambo
siren.

Anyone know any more info? aparenlty it wasn't pretty...

Cheers,

Tim and Madonna

More Bne riders hang out on MTBDirt and RoadGrime and will probably
have the goss.

A couple of mates did Cootha after racing yesterday morning and came across
that crash. It wasn't the guy with the bandana who fell off from what they
told me. But sorry, I don't have any more info.
