It was a bit distressing to see pictures and video of the fires that have scorched parts of Victoria. Even worse is we have friends that have lost their homes, but at least they still have each other as material items can be replaced.
It was only last week that Gav and I were riding through some of the local trail out at Smiths Gully. He and some of the MTB community were taking clothing and bedding to the general store at Smiths Gully to aid the locals.
We were shocked to see Marysville vanish. We know the town well as I spend a large chunk of winter skiing above the town. We still await news on Nat Morandi and his family who run the XC shop there that we frequent. We hope he is safe as are others that we see regularly skiing at Lake Mountain.
It is a true disaster and we are speechless at what we see on the TV here in Canada. Our thoughts are with those that have suffered loss.
