know it well. Between that curve and two of the underpass tunnels that have blind corner's ... the most dangerous places on the trail. I always leave plenty of space behind another rider there... drop it down a few gears... shout up the trail "COMING UP!!!" Hope you were not hurt too bad.
oh yes....the section before the golf course...I almost busted my arse the first time as well, def would have if I had a camera in the hands...I was in aero position on a tri bike, so took a second to get to the brakes.
That's the same place my bro-in-law crashed going the other way as a new rider, tacoed his front wheel, knocked his wind out, and broke 3 ribs. I always yell, "Comming around!" there since you can't see around very well. They just made it worse with that gate that swings out the wrong way making you slow down before you start the short incline that's between 20 and 25% and is too steep to walk up in cleats. It's bad news if you have to stop right there! Who designs therse things anyway??
Now I get off before I go under that road and make a right and ride to the stop sign and do a U-turn. I almost got into a couple of accidents going under that road. They need to widen that road and make the turn easier to maneuver.
I really hate that part, i thought it would be a good idea to try going full speed down the slope and almost went flying off the trail.
