I've found it's best to slow down maybe even to a crawl if needed, seems to work better then stopping.

Maybe you could find out who lives there and call them? I wouldn't want to walk in that yard with the dog barking.
How scary.

I had a fun ride. I always see this woman riding the same route I do. I've talked to her before, and today we happened to be riding the same way at the same time, so we rode together. It's so funny, she and I have a similar riding schedule and I think she rides the same distances I usually do. It looks like we're going to ride again soon. Maybe we can inspire each other to find some new roads and ride some more miles, and it will be good to have someone to draft with!
When I left my new friend, I headed back home via my new route, and had some road construction workers yell "atta girl!" at me, which was really pretty cute. It was a fantastic day with little wind, lots of sunshine, and not much traffic. Excellent ride!
BSG, I hope you manage to work out your dog troubles. I haven't had to deal with that, so no advice, just good luck!

I had a fun ride today with the company of redrhodie and am looking forward to more! Friends definitely make the time/miles go by fast!
As for dogs, I've been lucky and just slow way down to go past any loose ones, so I'm not sure what to do in the above situation.

Cool you two met up!
Had a very nice ride this afternoon -- sunny, cool and beautiful. My usual longer loop (when I say longer, I mean 22
).
Our weather is CHANGING so fast! The chill is definitely here. Had to wear the foot covers and long thick riding tights. My ears were still chilled.
Great day! I LOVE the fall!

Yes i love the fall too- the BEST biking weather!!
I love being able to wear my wooley layers again, and not having sunscreen dripping down my sweaty neck like icing. (eeeeeewwwwww......)
I like riding over the dancing dry leaves that go skittering across the road.Lisa

My Wednesday bike adventure has no dogs, but a little teeny kitten...
I dashed over to my neighborhood hardware store on the bike to pick up a couple little things. Right inside the door was a box of kittens needing homes. Now, I've been thinking all summer that it might be time to get another cat, after having one die over the winter-- but I thought it would be an older cat from the humane society. But I fell in love with this little kitten... She's black, with a white belly, face, and feet...
She rode home in my trunk bag. If I may interpret the kitten remarks I heard from the back of the bike: "mew mew" means "hi there my name is Betsy" and "MEW MEW MEW!!!!!!" means "cats don't ride bikes!"
And I've already caught her trying to climb up the front wheel of my bike, where it's parked in my living room...
