Nightmare morning: Be Warned, US-1 South (Rockledge-Viera)

Not too sure, but I doubt anyone would ever purposefully drop glass shards on the side of a road "hoping" that someday someone might pop a tire (or three in my case).

I'm guessing that it was a mixture of the rain + multiple accidents recently that were poorly cleaned up. 

You have a better description of where exactly?  I'm sure I'll be US1 southbound at least between Rockledge Dr and Veira Blvd, or further south over the next few weeks.

Bummer when this happens.  It's been a long while since I've had any issues (knocking on wood!)

Yup... happened twice between 502 (Barnes Blvd) and Viera Blvd. The third happened just north of that Landscaping Depot on the right. That's where I stopped to borrow a phone because I was out of spares...

 I'm currently mapping out a few new routes that'll just take me over Pineda to A1A North and then back south again.  I guess US1 was telling me I needed to start working on my causeway hills soon

Sounds like you should do this route !!! I'm doing 50 this Sat AM and will stay away from there, thanks! 

That map looks veeeeery familiar

Edit: Donto, I read your race log from last years Health First Tri.  Were the water markers/buoys THAT bad?

Well last year was unique in that we had 20+MPH winds from the ESE, nice 1-2 foot waves and they had a hard time with at least one of the buoys staying put and pulled it at the start of the swim.  With those waves it's hard to see anything but big horizon details.  I and others complained in 06 about the buoys, not enough of them.  The Space Coast Tri club has new leadership this year and from what I heard the priority is to have more buoy markers this year for the swim.
