The bike is a 3 lap course and we stood for a while at the u-turn where, after making the turn, you can either exit the course or continue to your next lap. It amazed me how many would go into the turn with their inside pedal down. Some would hit it, some wouldn't. Saw one woman go down in the turn but she got up, took her bike to the side of the course, got her chain back on and then continued on.
