I have to admit, it was pretty funny -- I'd make the right turn, get to the next switchback and have to stop, lift my bike, and turn and then get going again. Apparently, you have to be able to turn your head in the direction you're turning or you can't make the turn. Is this perhaps your problem?
No, I can turn my head just fine, but this sounds exactly like me otherwise! Right turn - check - left turn - miss the turn, start veering into the woods, stop, lift bike, start again. Really strange! I am definitely going to keep working at it. I obviously have some sort of body imbalance (or brain imbalance!!!)
