Meth lab gone wrong would be my guess. A couple other roadside attractions on the same road but still occupied.

Yea, the only downer was that piece of mud that was stuck to the lens for almost 30 minutes of footage. Can’t blame the guy I guess for not cleaning it every so often with his glove as he was, how should I put it?....slightly occupied at the time.That's insane!
Incredibly it was knocked off by a tree branch as he entered a forested section of the run.

....and with a virtual full head of steam from start to finish. Then there was the skillful riding exhibited as well to ensure that neither he or his bike encountered any serious injury or damage along the way. With the exception of the start, there were very few to zero favorable lines to choose on the descents.

I liked the part where you can see the riders' shadow. What was first prize....a quart of Rocky Road ice cream?

….that and a weeks worth of free massages!
Here’s the intro to last year’s event. It’s always mayhem at the start of the race when everyone is jockeying for position up at the top. Looks like they even have a miniAvalanche for the kiddies too.

One must ride like everyone and everything is trying to kill you at all times.Idiots on the road. I have not suffered from a right hook in a long time I have drivers wait for me. but not this guy.

My sentiments exactly....
At some of our Bellingham intersections, there are green "bike boxes" that privilege bicycles. On at least one of them, as I was waiting for a green light, I knew the car beside/behind me wanted to turn right, though I intended to go straight. Then I noticed the sign across the street: "No free right turn on red." I don't know whether there are others like that at similar intersections, nor whether they are intended to keep us two-wheelers safe, but I like the idea. Problem is, does the cager see the sign, and do they intend to ignore it?
At another intersection, I intended to go straight, and got into the appropriate lane with my front tire on the bike symbol that's intended to trigger the light (and I must say these almost always do work). A young, impatient guy pulled into the right turn lane next to me, and when the light turned, shot straight ahead and shouted something at me as he roared past--going straight, not to the right. Ironically, he had a bike rack with a bike on the back of his rig. I guess even a fellow rider can turn into a jerk when he gets behind the wheel.
It's a scary world out there.

Yeah that reminds me that yesterday a driver pulled up along side me and gave me the finger. That is not uncommon but I had no inkling what he was upset about. At first I returned in kind but It was such a nice day I did not let him mess with my mojo for very long. (-:
