I had a close encounter with a skunk on my morning ride. He ran out in front of me and I skidded to a stop. My back wheel slid out to the right a little bit and my headlights illuminated the little bugger. We stared at each other for a couple seconds and then he hid behind a mail box post. Phew! It could have been a smelly ride home.
A half mile later I saw a coyote running through a field. (I wonder if the cows in the next field knew he was there).
The funniest thing I saw was riding by a house and seeing 20 chickens roosting in a tree. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it made me laugh.

I've had rides that stink, but not like that. Still snow on the ground here, but hopefully I can ride outside before too long. Paul
ReplyDeleteRiding in the dark ... not something I enjoy doing. I'm glad you are out there getting it done! I'm still struggling with getting saddle time - not wanting to give up the weights yet or running.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you're blogging. Cool!! How about posting a killer kettle bell workout? :-)
