That's insane!  How the h311 can anyone drive/ride that fast with the turns coming up that fast and still be able to react without killing one's self?
WOW.

The thing that sh!ts me is remembering all the corners. isn't it like 30 miles around the whole course? if you forget whether it's left or right at the next turn you're fender meat, instantly.

Honestly, it's 12kms (8 miles) to work and I still don't have all the potholes and road imperfections memorised. To try to memorise 38 miles of turns, bumps, where to shift in the seat, when to lift your arse, etc.... total focus and insanity hey.
