For what it’s worth I found most of the course to be safe. Some of the big rig logging truck passes were scary but mostly due to their size and noise. The eastern states were very safe and courteous places to ride.
I had one near miss in Kentucky, with a pick-up going against traffic on a dual carriageway in a heavy storm to turn into a car park who I only dodged by millimetres.
I didn’t ride in Kansas, where three of the hits (and Eric’s collision) happened. By all accounts that’s not a safe place to be. There had already been discussion on rerouting around the worst stretch.
I can’t imagine what the insurance situation is for Nathan and whether that might make it impossible to run another edition.

Do we know how the other guys who were hit are?
Also will anyone ride this next year, given the hit rate?
