We also came across some side by sides but didn't have any problem with them, they were real curtious. I guess it justs depends on who is driving them. | ||

Did we cross this new bridge this year during the C loop? If we didn't, then I guess there's two new bridges up there.  Unfortunately, I came up on someone who must've goosed it while on the bridge, spun out and put their front wheel through the right side and busted some of the vertical pieces. He probably had half his wheel stuck through the railing. I waited for him to un-wedged his bike and as I finished riding off the bridge I think I saw two more spots where other people did the same thing.
