Sauvie final 1.5 miles asphalt -- not obvious

For those doing the Dan Blocker ride Sunday or otherwise riding (especially pacelining) Sauvie Island clockwise:

There is a seam/crack in the asphalt in the last 1.5 miles or so as you finish the lap that is bad enough in a few places to catch a wheel.

It parallels the fog line just where you're likely to be riding. It seems fine, then you come around the last right curve and are looking at the long straightaway before the hard right turn before the bridge. That curve is the worst spot where the seam is uneven and will catch your wheel.

I reported it to MultCo but I'd say 50-50 it's still there 3 months from now.

If you know what I'm talking about it would help to have more reports:
