Downhill wasn't the problem - I was going 25 mph (probably faster). It was that hidden, VERY sharp turn at the bottom that cause the problem. Handcycles do NOT turn very sharply to begin with (about an 18 foot turn radius) - especially at speed. Add in a turn over 90° into a relatively narrow path, and it was an accident waiting to happen ... and it did. The Race Staff and some of the bystanders were GREAT. They got the handcycle off of it's side and me back in the seat. They wanted me to be pushed in a wheelchair they had ran down from the finish, but it was only 200 yards or so to the fini -

The best way to tackle F&W is to plan for at least 2 days at EPCOT. Use one day to browse and carouse; take your time and check out the offerings at each booth; see what people are actually getting and ask them how it is; sample the items you are after the most. The second day, go back for the items you really liked - or missed out on - the 1st day; try items you aren't sure about; beer flights if you're into that kind of thing. The biggest point - take your time! There is a LOT to see and do, check out who's playing at the Eat to the Beat concerts - you might get a chance to see a big fav -

The choice isn't looks - it's going to be the one that is the best fit for me based on physical limitations. Both have pluses and minuses.

Once the company is notified to go ahead ... a few days
