A leisurely ride over Wairarapa farmland took a dark turn after a man suffered a serious neck injury in a mountain bike accident. A group of riders were traversing a ridge line on the eastern side of the valley near Masterton on Wednesday evening when the man crashed and was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital. Ride organiser Andrew Pawson said the man, in his 60s, was a regular member of the group which rode over various farms near Masterton every week during daylight saving.
