Same as you I was cycling along in my own little world going up a favourite hill with lovely forest all around. Next thing from the corner of my eye I see a flash and a Kamikaze squirrel is making a beeline for me. The scream escapes my lips and the squirrel miraculously slips between the two wheels. I felt so silly that I quickly looked around for witnesses. Lucky not a soul around.
I laughed, out loud, at the squirrel scream. The dog...I agree it's wierd that a golden would be aggressive. Then again, I wouldn't discount your instinct, or your read of the situation. I have let out some really loud screams on the bike, too, usually to warn a car not to hit me. People look at me funny, but hey, it gets their attention!

I'm jealous of your lovely forests and hills. And your screaming at the wildlife. Is Creepy Guy one particular guy? Or is that a category of "guy", as in "I spotted another Creepy Guy on the trail today"?
