    I came upon a cyclist who had just fallen this morning. Trollheim was wet and covered with leaves. Looks like he went down going thru the S turn onto MVT. He said he was ok, he looked ok, but his
    handlebars were well bent. He said he lived close and would walk home. He was wearing a helmet.

    I related my crash from last October when I broke my collarbone. I definitely suffer from Trollheim-induced PTSD.

    I thought maybe this was the same guy I saw, but wrong location. So tally another Trollheim victim on Monday. This one was on the big curve under the first (as you go south) TR bridge overpass about 7:00 am. I did not see or hear him fall. He was on his feet inspecting his bike as I very slowly passed. His chartreuse shirt, across his right shoulder and right side of his chest, had picked up a lot of black slime (I assume) from the surface of the Trollheim. I asked if he was OK, and he said yes.

    I was one of the two who fell that day. Riding up towards the TR bridge when a jogger (after being alerted I was passing) turned out in front of me. Brakes and down I went on the slippery boardwalk. Bike was fine, me not so much, broken clavicle. As I was waiting for a pickup to the hospital, another rider went down in the same location and went to the same hospital. Don’t know extent of his injuries but shoulder too.
