Oh, man. Except for one, these cattle guards are all on flat roads and easily ridden. Wonder if it's just the dynamics of the peloton. We're guessing that he crashed on the only one on a climb, and after a tight corner.*
The guards are in darn near perfect condition, especially compared to our RR crossings in town which are pretty hazardous.

On the 4th, Jobob, Bubba and I actually stood near one (waiting for Mr. Bob to, um, whatever) and watched in amazement as 3 people stopped and walked across one, in cleats. I think walking cattle guards is actually riskier than riding.
*Jobob, they rode the course backward, as in they had to climb that incredible descent.
