180km Sunshine Coast Trial, in a non-stop effort. In the end only one survived…that’s right, three of them DIED en route, though not in your typical end of life definition. I’ve since had beers with all of them and they’re just fine, by all standard definitions, other than their running egos having taken a bit… →
