There's some nasty bumps in here, just so you know.
02:02
There's a summit stage stop here, but the shuttle, so he turns around here, and it's a shuttle that connects this neighborhood here with the main bus.
02:17
So if I'm just doing a quick bus route,
02:20
I'll actually turn around at this intersection, we're going to go up to do a whole loop through this neighborhood.
02:23
If it's really nasty,
02:25
it's slick, I tend to try to do this neighborhood because this hill is pretty steep and with a bad corner and no guardrails.
02:37
I'll be clear from the office since then route to the 201.
