The course seems a bit dodgy (gutters, rough pavement, traffic), or is it just a case of things always looking worse on video?
The 2.1 mile course is 50% concrete that is being replaced beginning Sept. The surface is rough and cracked in spots and may even have contributed to the crash. Usually traffic is of no significance in the industrial park consisting mostly of office buildings.

Notice that I was riding in the crap for a reason. I could see the bad spots coming up and all they could do is follow blindly.
