Warning from the Monsters about the WaWa Down Road

[cbusick]

From Philip:

On the way down Wachusett from the top, when you make a left at the stop sign and go down what is known as down the down, there is an area as you go down and you bear to the left that is strewn with lots and lots of gravel and is very dangerous. You need to slow down to like to 5 miles an hour. You do not want to hit that area with speed because you'll probably crash.

If the other guys on the list from other clubs like MRC, John or Chris, and 545, Juan or Brian, could let the rest of your guys know that would be great. We don't want anyone having an avoidable accident.

From Remy:
One additional point: you’d think that this gravel area would be at the point where the road crosses the ski slope, i.e. it’s the crap left behind by the snow that was on the slope… that’s what we thought. But, no, it’s BEFORE that point. So if you go flying down and then plan to stop in time to cross the slope… not so good. Despite having the warning about the gravel, it was still almost exciting this morning.

Good to know.

I should have read this before my ride. Yup it is a mess in two spots.

I went up two days ago. I was warned at the top and happily (but safely) went back down the up route. KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

Gravel gone. Bombs away!
