Very sad, and a reminder of the potential for injury, or worse, whilst enjoying the activity we all love.

Was just in Canberra for work and squeezed out a quick few laps.
I must say, there are a few sections particularly down Pork Barrel that is quite hairy at speed and had a few near misses myself. Wonder where it happened...

Wonder if they'll continue the 24 Solo that's happening this weekend.
