Not hard to be distracted by the natural beauty of Lake Nasworthy! That specific stretch has been home to a number of very significant crashes over the years.

PermalinkI once had a bicycle route that put me on Knickerbocker, over the Nasworthy Bridge, then over the dam to Beautiful Downtown Knickerbocker where I would swing right, head to Mertzon Highway, and then boogie back into town. The route was about 32 miles.
While I enjoyed the peace and serenity of the entire ride (I did it around sunrise), my favorite part was crossing over Nasworthy. At that time of day the water was typically like glass... the kind of water I used to love skiing on with my O'Brien slalom.
Nasworthy does have its charms.
