Hi,

That last stretch of AC is where I had my head-on while driving up the road. I hadn't even made it up to the fire station and it wasn't a tight corner either. My personal opinion is that the woman who crossed into my lane just wasn't paying attention to driving.

Anyway, the couple of times that I've ridden on that road have generally been scary. After the car accident I'm not sure when I'll be brave enough to ride up there again.

BTW, one of my clubmates rode yesterday. Did you happen to see any Lightning Velo pink and blue up there?
