Weather was perfect , thanks to Jane again for the blue skys and fluffy clouds 
we had 3 members one ex member from FB and 3 mates 

sat morning had a 50 k loop and back to the cars for some lunch 
the afternoon we were heading out to some super fast flowing tracks when i stopped to show an A line  track swatter went up last time , withing a minute 3 riders went up and the rest of us went the B line (boundary track before corn hill) 

Lt Jase took a spill and landed knees, hands, knees , hands , short version he had a broken wrist and rode back with his mate Brendo with just the throttle hand .

4 of us pushed on for the very fast flowing track to simon Jamiesons hut and then back to the cars around 4 and another 90Ks 

Nick C had arrived and we both camped overnight , went out for a level 1+ ride for a few hours and headed home around 1.00 , didnt see rain till halfway home 

Cheers

Jeffery is right!  What I initially thought was just a sprained wrist, turned out to be a broken one!  I'll be off the bike for about 8 weeks... not sure how I will cope?! On the bright side, Big River territory is absolutely amazing! It might have even surpassed Rawson as my top spot! Awesome ride Jeff - thanks! PS. That small river crossing with a decent current made for some excitement… with one hand!
