It was there, in fact it did a dash from Mt Penang to Calga to pick up a guy who had put his rear derailleur into the spokes. He had only put 200km on the bike - he was not a happy camper (Cannondale R800 with 105 gruppo)

I don't think I want to share the details - it was due to a very stupid error on my part. Let's just say that when one re-assembles one's bike after taking it out of the back of the car, it is very important to connect the brakes before launching down a steep driveway.

But that isn't what I did ....no.. I was doing 60km/hr up Bumble Hill, when this wombat dashed out of nowhere. Yes, that's what happened. No, really, it did.
