Unplanned off road excursion - Page 3

I'm curious, did you happen to see what the posted speed limit was for that turn? 30-35 sure doesn't seem too fast.

Stan glad to here you two didn't have more serious injuries and are on your way to healing up. I get mentally tired with lots of different radius curves and can't even think about doing it for 140 miles. Get well and on to a bike soon.

There wasn't a sign. About a quarter of the curves were no marked.

I'm a firm believer in the GPS showing me the next two turns on a curvy road. Hope to see you and the Misses back in the saddle someday buddy..

I just follow BD. If I see him disappear over a cliff, I know to slow down.

BD's former job was as a canary in a coal mine, so that makes sense.

OH, NO. . . I usually follow Patricia. . . That could be really bad. :-/

Not really though, if she can't see the whole corner see usually goes REALLY slow. That's why I follow most of the time. (it's easier than going back to find her). ;-)
