I normally ride the road,but use this path for training early am---adjoining road is far too dangerous in the mornings
I have certainly learned a lesson though
1. work on your emergency braking skills

2. slow down on MUPs

3. If you want to train, do it on the road

4. ironic that you feel the road is too dangerous, but you had your accident on the MUP
