Bridge Reflections

I was on a ride through Montgomery County in the vicinity of Green Lane reservoir and I go past this sign. I made a u-turn so I could go back and take a photo. Evidently, between January and September of 2009, 7 motorcyclists crashed on this stretch of road. After taking the photo, I continued down the 'treacherous' road and was really disappointed. I expected a nice twisty road and the road didn't live up to the expectation set by the sign. I've ridden much more challenging roads.

As I approached the end of the twisty part, I came across this bridge, which is my submission for Weekend Reflections #31.

Clytie said...: A very nice bridge reflection shot. We have a dangerous motorcycle road nearby as well - only it's not the road that's dangerous, it's the insane racers who are dangerous. Otherwise, it's just plain fun!; April 23, 2010 at 10:00 AM

Don't get me started on roads that don't keep their promises.; April 23, 2010 at 12:34 PM
