Dear SDCBCers:
	This evening, while riding the Rose Creek Bike Path south to a dinner 
appointment in Ocean Beach, I heard a crash behind me about fifteen 
seconds after I'd rounded that last bend between the Boat Club and the 
golf course. I turned back and found a roadie had collided with a young 
woman on a beach cruiser.
	Fortunately, they both felt fine enough to dust off and go on their 
merry ways. the roadie mentioned it was a blind corner, and said the 
collision was "an actuarial inevitability."
	Maybe if we had bike paths without blind corners the actuaries will go 
play elsewhere. I do know I'll be slow and vigilant rounding that bend 
in the future, and ma even mark it for speical attention if I plan a 
group ride.
