Charles Darwin National Park tracks. |
| Hardest Ride: | My first Adelaide River ride, lots of sand, didn't take enough fuel, almost ran out of water and the sun was a killer. |
| Worst MTB Injury: (When,Where,How,Excuse) |
Crashed off one of the Lee Point drops, banged up my knee, hit my head pretty hard and took a nice chunk out of my helmet. At the time I was trying to sort out my technical skills, got it all wrong, didn't get back over the seat far enough. I still remember the drop suddenly appearing a lot higher as I went over the bars. |
| Favourite MTB Accessory: (Anything that makes MTB easier) |
Camelbak. |
