Lake Geneva Wetsuit-less (Page 2)

I've tried unsuccessfully to find a rough schedule for the crossings, but the consensus seems to be that the trains go through at up to 30MPH.

it is too bad that there isn't better visibility as you approach the tracks at some of the crossings.

That's true. I rode by some people workin' on those tracks on Sunday.

As for hitting the angled tracks at 90-degrees, there's enough shoulder room to swing to the right, then come back left, so it's not very difficult to do it without falling or getting hit by a car.

Don't forget that when you approach the turn onto Route 120, there are rumble strips in the road and those suck much more than train tracks.

SERIOUSLY?? You stop at stop signs DURING  a race??? I guess if the intersection doesn't have a volunteer (highly possible) then you would slow down, look and listen, but Ive never seen anyone STOP during a race. (In 12 yrs.) I understand why you would though. A train coming, different story completely.

happened at Duathlon Nationals in Va this year...during the mens 35-39 group!! Can you imagine??

As far as i'm aware, the law isn't suspended because of a race.  Face it - we're not pros on a closed course.  My life and my wife's peace of mind are more than worth the few seconds "lost" by stopping.  I was broadsided by an SUV last year while riding my bike (driver on cell phone ran a stop sign), and don't care to relive the experience.  My bike was totalled in that instance; fortunately, i was not.
