Accident Report
A grade; Shane Pitman, Matt Benson, Angus Boase & Ken Ridley would front
up for the 40 minute race with which all riders set off together.
The A grade bunch worked well together & were getting close to the end of their race,
when another freak accident would occur! This time it would involve a Kangaroo.
Unfortunately a Roo crossed in front of the group with about a 20m margin wich was no issue,
however it decided to do a U turn & headed back towards the group on an angle.
As it realised it was on a crash course with 4 cyclist it tried to turn
tripping & sliding straight at the group, that’s when it got messy.
Pitman & Ridley would hit the deck, Benson made good evasive action & stayed up right as did Boase,
However Boase would show off his mountain bike skills by riding over its neck & stayed up right wow!
Pitman & Ridley lay hurt alongside the Roo what a picture! Only in Australia!
Everyone was ok & a DNF was recorded for all members.
