Struck Down?

It is contagious, it is out there.

The cool crisp Canberra air served up the perfect breeding grounds. 

At ground level the previous afternoons blizzard-like experience had only just managed to settle the dust, but the temperature remained below zero well into the mid-morning.

As the day warmed up ever so slightly many riders exchanged social fast for fast fast to blast down some of their favourite trails on Stromlo.

And after the first "race" run it seems everyone on the bus returning us to the top of the hill had caught it.

It came involuntary, and with a rasping dry sound.

It is the Rollercoaster cough.
