I think a few people dropped their bikes there. I spun my back tire trying to make it up the hill the one time it was wet

Yeah, after they passed you I quit trying to keep up with them and then in that turn by the overlook I saw you on the centerline and I was thinking "now where is Tommy goin?" then it hit me you blew the turn and it was OH SHIT! I checked behind me before the turn and knew I was clear behind and hit the brakes hard in time to see you get slowed down then go down! It could have been way worse, glad it wasn't because I was gonna share that chicken dinner with you last year if we'd had one more morning or that damn rooster behind our cabin!! And this year...I got THE bike for rally time!!!

Yeah, but Drewpy, Razor, NtS, and Ambly went down in twisty sections. That is something we can't avoid.
