Such a sad sight.



Still, better than you in that ditch.

I just saw this. I'm so sorry to hear this, but I'm happy you weren't hurt seriously. Heal quickly!

Oh man, that's tough. Glad to hear that you weren't hurt as bad as the bike.

Yep.

Here the first patch when you come down the hill.


And the second patch....


Second patch from a distance. (ADV rider stopped on his way up the hill. apparently there were 150+ trail riders in the area for a large rally)

Just looking at those pictures of the pea gravel on that road sends chills down my spine.

Well..there was one of these pop-up signs about a mile down at the bottom of the mountain.  Don't recall seeing one up at the top, but probably missed it sitting up at the top 3-4 miles back. No sign actually near the large patches of gravel  >:(

The only time I've ever  been down is the same chit , fresh hot tar and  loose gravel, a Yahoo road patch. about 30 years ago.
