Ouch! So sorry to hear. I can empathize with you, as my season ended on June 5th and all I got was this lousy tshirt...

Got a bit carried away and ended up on top of the Col de Posettes with a roadbike. Wink and a nod and they let me take the cabin down instead of the DH track!
Ps inadvertent roadbike dropper seatpost but really helped on the steep rocky parts!

Out on the mountain bike today to do a very casual ride of the Ohakune Old Coach Road trail which was an old cobbled stagecoach route. Unfortunately it rained a lot!!

Sunny ride this morning but damn windy and wet roads made for an interesting second outing on the new wheels! Loving them so far though! Still climbs like a mountain goat and flies on the flats.

Fun day out on the trail. Had a monumental stack, but escaped with just a few scratches...
