It was great to see your pics! I think you are brave! It reminded me of time doing a short hike in the Tetons. Brilliant countryside but the walk was spoiled as my head was on a swivel looking for bears! Don't know what I would have done if we had seen one..............
Quick question! Can a terrified cyclist outrun a bear?

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Thank you for sharing the pics of your ride. Those look like such beautiful country roads to ride on. It looks like such a peaceful area.

That's what the Chief says about sharks when we're diving--he doesn't have to outswim the shark, he only has to outswim ME. Originally Posted by Trekhawk
