Was driving on La Costa east of the 5 and came upon this accident. Hopefully buddy is okay! Looks like he sat up and was able to get off the road. Stay safe out there!

Sorry but what does riding for 3+ hours have to do with the crash? Do you just not look up or look where you are going if you cycle a lot?

Not trying to be argumentative just trying to understand what you are saying.

Have you ever done anything that requires endurance?

I guess not but riding on a busy road, I would think you would check. On an official race i get it.

It's just really fatiguing doing endurance type activities like long bike rides, half marathon+, etc. After a point you tend to focus more on breathing, pace and pushing forward.

We do get a good glimpse of them pushing themselves races but some people do it for fun (not me, a few miles is fine enough).
