Once riding my bike in the Lake Chabot area near castro valley in California, I was riding and a loose horse sans rider came running full tilt at me down the trail. Since I was a horse person, I got in front of him, waved him down and grabbed his reins to stop him. Do not do this at home if you do not know how!
A little while later, two people riding double came up on a horse to get the horse. I almost let him loose again and slapped him on the butt when they acted quite surly and never even thanked me for catching their horse! What is wrong with some people?

Dead Armadillos! When the heck did they move to Missouri? For the past few years I've seen them all over the place. Never ever before!
I also found a crisp five dollar bill along with some empty McDonalds containers along the side of the road a couple of days ago when I stopped to take a break. No buildings or other people around.Claudia

On my century ride Sunday, I rode by an itty bitty kitten on the side of the state road! One of our team called ASPCA (I didn't know that at the time and called my DH to go get him!) Poor thing.
I can do five more miles.
