Holden Mt Buller road ride went wrong




In March this year Steve Lohr, Clint Wilson, Lisa Tasa and Tim Harman rode the Holden Mt Buller ride. This is an awesome weekend of road riding with two stages on Saturday and an easy ride down Mt Buller on Sunday. Lisa and Tim worked well together to get Lisa the 2nd female up the Mountain, a great achievement. After celebrating Saturday night the team got up early for the "easy" ride down Mt Buller, with only about 4kms to go Tim crashed off the side of Mt Buller. He was travelling at almost 60kms per hour. He only suffered minor scratches and a little muscle damage. He hit head first and owes a lot to the Specialize helmet he was wearing at the time. A big thank you goes to all that helped out that morning.



The crash unfortunately put Tim off the bike for about 8 weeks, with this and other considerations the team decided not to contend the Victorian Mountain Bike Enduro series this year.
