Back in the hurt box
26 Mar 2013It has been almost six weeks to the day since I crashed at 65kmph and broke my collar bone, so I signed up for the Warburton Road Race, run on Sunday 24th March. It was a 98 kilometres loop from Wesburn out to Noojee and back with a repeat climb over Nayook and Neerim in [...]
