I didn't mean to make it seem like it was the same person both times. I had an experience several days earlier where I was being chased by a guy who definitely wasn't all there mentally.

I'm just getting a little frustrated and scared by these seperate incidents. And also reading about women dispearing off bike paths.

You all gave really good advice. I could have turned off the road in so many instances, but I really kept believing that he was going to leave me alone at any second. I just kept chanting that to myself "leave me alone" like he could hear me or something. But I know what the guy looks like and I remember his car (he paced me for a good 10 min.). I'm not going to take that route again during that time of day. Usually I only take it on weekends, early in the morning. It's just really sad that I have to change my life because of people like this. Men never have to deal with crap like this.
