We skipped that section because it was like 3 turns and 2 round-a-bouts, and only added an extra 1/4 mile...we had you go straight, then turn left instead.

We didn't follow the runners course exactly, their course had some sections (like that one) that just made it unecessarily difficult for cyclists traveling at higher speeds on an open course at night, so if you were following where they had barriers sitting on the side of the road, you weren't taking to correct route.

I'm not sure where you wanted us to turn over by the muny, I just know we were staying on course, keeping up with the glow sticks until we reached art hill. At that point we realized we need to get over to Forsyth and we were starting to head in the wrong direction. We just made a judgement call and ran with it.
"And you should know that by being a racing driver, you are under risks all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver, because we are competing. We are competing to win, and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory; it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th." - Ayrton Senna
