Rolling on to the WOD this morning from Roosevelt Street I saw numerous medical personnel and vehicles at the curve that heads up to Brandymore Castle.

Also please remember to control your speed at that turn – it’s terrible and has no business existing, but it does and folks need to be careful.

I hate hate hate that curve. I went down once last fall when it had gotten muddy after a bad rain. Just road rash, thankfully.
It’s like the Trollheim–even people who ride there all the time and know the hazards can be taken out. Entirely unacceptable infrastructure. Argh.

I’ve wiped out there in the mud too, but at that point I definitely had no idea what I was doing.

Hope the cyclist is okay! And just in case people need reminding…DO NOT CUT BLIND/LOW VISIBILITY CORNERS. Just slow down and stay in your “lane.”
