Hope you all had a great event... mine was hampered by my first mechanical DNF in maybe 10 events. Smashed Derailleur 14Km into 112km was not part of the plan! First broken derailleur in near 10yrs of MTB so I am hoping to get back on that run of reliability!

The main reason for the post is to thank Russ (Smiley) for loaning me his bike so I could ride the the last section from Wingello back to Bundanoon.
Russ was suffering a little after rides two days in a row and had decided to pull the pin even after plenty of encouragement.
