I think it was a serious of unfortunate events. I carried too much speed into that corner as well, but got lucky. I was not expecting a decreasing radius turn like that and was not even off the bike because I was in cruise mode and not really pushing it. The roads down here can bite you easily and I didn't expect turns like that for another mile or two, but I don't ride 28 often so I was unfamiliar with where I was on the road. This was probably due to fatigue because we were in the final leg of that day's ride. Combine that with a section of road with transitions in pavement and you got the recipe for disaster.
