    Ive seen experienced riders drop bikes up there in the mountain, its not they missed judged the turn its the dirt and rocks in the road, cars going too fast around curves that they cross into the other lane. Its a dangerous route, that most riders need to stay off of till they learn control or how to drop a bike when needed.

    … daunting, demanding turns, it’s a fast, challenging segment between mile markers 10 and 20, where this Tang fellow went down. My husband’s a pro. He goes through there so fast in our two-seater, you would not believe it –
