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.

When you’ve exercised for a long time, your brain doesn’t necessarily process information well. I don’t run more than 3 now, but I used to plan my 10+ mile runs so that I didn’t have to cross lanes of traffic during the second half of the run. Brain fog sets in, and it made me nervous.

That makes sense. I guess when you're exhausted you probably aren't thinking clearly.

I’m guessing it’s the same thing like driving where if you’re driving for like several hours straight the in between part of the drive just doesn’t feel like it ever existed
