Bob, if the other rider was coming uphill and turned left, there are only a few options, NONE of them in any way, shape or form so blind that riding at a reasonable speed would guarantee an accident. PERIOD.

Actually, there really is ONLY one lookout where he needed to turn left, coming uphill. To the downhill side, that is a fairly BLIND corner, so, as I said... common sense demanding that you'd slow down to a reasonable speed.

It is no secret that there is a lookout and it is also no secret that people turn in there from the other side. Mort has been riding Palomar long and often enough to know that. But, again, it all involves common sense... something I have NEVER experienced while riding with him. Everything I stated here is related to his riding, not whether or not he is a nice guy otherwise or not. Of which, I know plenty of people who would emphatically dispute that as well.

Some of us have (drastically) different experiences with Mort and as such, it may seem odd, or bad, or ignorant to you, when we state our opinions. But much like one Mexican doesn't make it Summer, one good experience with Mort doesn't make him a good rider, which he isn't.

I have to agree though, whether or not he hired a hooker or not, doesn't belong here...
