I just came across this thread. WOW. I give you a ton of credit for keeping your cool and continuing to ride in uneven terrain (lose gravel) with a dog hanging on to you. You are the WOMAN.

I don't know that I'd be able to keep my cool that way without freaking out. Scares me just reading about it. I know you're a female but you got a pair of steel ones sister.

Yikes
