Yeah, last year it was a sheet of ice. It was fine on Thrusday pre-ride and I nailed it in my pre-ride on Friday. I'd say at least half of the women went down there on our first lap last year. At the point I crashed the first time, I was sitting pretty in the top ten. The bike literally slid right out from under me (I tried to ride the inside, high line) and I landed on my shoulder, hip, and knee. Separated my right shoulder which meant I couldn't dismount, mount, or carry the bike on the right side. It was pretty laughable but I plugged on, falling again in the same place in the second lap and then falling on the back side on the third lap.
