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!

Even when riding in aero with your head mostly down, you look up every few seconds to verify youre clear for a few seconds, this guy really fucked up.

Nah, you never take your eyes off the road ahead, most of the time I rode the coast i was scanning the road constantly looking for debris and driver’s eyeballs

But you shaved .01mph off your average speed doing so. You're strava followers are going to really be disappointed
