I've eaten it on that corner before also, but the culprit that time was biodegrading leaf litter and moss making the road slick. It's a spot that never gets any sun. Two other riders crashed shortly after me, ignoring my arm waving to slow down.
Doesn't matter how confident I'm feeling, I now I pick my way round that corner at about 3mph, shaking like a baby deer!

Thanks Oliver. Yes, exactly at that spot. Tyre just carried on ignoring my request to turn right, not at crazy speed though one does tend to pick up speed in the preceding mile.
Very good point about making the same error. I have to respect the wishes of loved ones (one in particular), so I will be using a lid on the roads from now.
