Talk about making the most of a day off. We backed up our early morning adventure down Buller’s West Ridge with an afternoon ride down the Howqua.

It’s a fun back country ride, made even funner when Tom crashed and broke his finger an hour or so into a 3-4 hour ride! To his credit he didn’t complain once. Not when we applied MTB style trailside first aid or in the following hours as he rode singletrack one handed. DOH!
