This morning's ride was interesting. Two dogs wanted a piece of me, but they were on leashes and their walkers managed to control them. A bit later I saw another dog, but its proportions were off. I realized it was a black bear -- small, a young cub but not this year's crop. It shambled off into the woods, and I did not stop to get a picture (cell phone in back pocket). Later in the ride I saw a pileated woodpecker fly across the road. |

You should have named this thread Smokey the Bear One of first rides of my kid without training wheels, I was pushing him up a slight grade and almost straight into a cub that was rubbing itself against a tree. Retreat slowly.
On my morning training rides up Seymour I used to come upon bears pretty regularly. |

I came up on a bob cat. We both were surprised to see the other. It was a steep up hill, so I was going 5 mph and we were about 15' from each other. After being surprising, it was scary, then really cool (once we were a safe distance apart). Nick |
