certainly makes you wonder.. no judgement on the rider.. part of the reason we go uphill to go downhill for most of us..

That was on Hauser Bridge Rd, one of the most treacherous descents around, fast sweeping turns up top leading to tight, wet turns at the bottom. Many go down every year during the GranFondo. Report suggests (not yet clear) she overcooked a turn and hit a downed tree off the road. I've done this descent many times and it still earns my utmost respect.
