I tried out the Glasgow detour for the IHT tonight.
It is horrible.
I'm just confident enough of a rider that I'm fine fine with it and just kind of roll my eyes and go "okay, here we go..." but it's absolute garbage that they're proposing that the general public that use a completely segregated trail should mix into 4-lane traffic at 60+ km/h.
The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! part: When you're heading NB, and detour off of the IHT just after the bridge and head over to Glasgow... when you get to Glasgow...
...they made their sign backward. So they put it on the West side of the post so the arrow would face North, which you don't see as you approach from the East. If you didn't know the Detour was on Glasgow, you'd just blindly keep going ahead forever.
I cannot even.
