Yea, one guy hadn't been riding in a while and was following a much faster rider and just got in over his head and ran off road. One guy was riding a quick pace, but not being stupid, and it just tucked mid turn. And the other guy I'm not sure what happened to him. Luckily everyone was perfectly fine and the bikes just suffered some minor scrapes. I had a good time but after missing a few big gravel patches right at the beginning I just wasn't going to commit to any turn more than 70%, so I didn't get out quite as much pent up speed as I had wanted to, but now I'll just have to to the go kart track I guess and relieve it.

i hit a patch of sand back in aug. and lowsided my gsxr. because of that, im just not interested in doing rides like that anymore. luckily no one was hurt. its just not worth it to me anymore. thinking back on it, we used to be STUPID going through the mountains. roads like RT. 56 before you hit the blueridge parkway..

glad to hear no one was hurt.
