Loved that response pkq......I may have to remember that one! After all this - just 2 days ago the neighborhood kids had their -awww ain't he cute? - little yippie dog out running in the streets with them as I came riding by. That -aww ain't he cute?- ran right in front of my bike and almost took me down - so I took that little dog for the run of his life. I took off like a shot and called that dog to run after me and the little dog ran his little legs off trying to catch me! When I came back around (it was by my house and I was trying to go home) those kids had that dog in their yard on a leash. I'm guessing - that dog isn't going to be running loose anytime soon!.....but what a great interval workout for me - after the end of a 6 mile climb up the mountain!
