Does anybody have any good strategies for dealing with dogs who chase you as you ride? I have a favorite route, and there's a farmyard with 3 dogs who bark and chase me. My usual strategy is to stop about 1/2 mile before I get there is to catch my breath after climbing a hill in case I need to outrun them. I also mentally prepare myself to grab a water bottle and get ready to squirt, thinking that the surprise might buy me a couple of seconds. I know that dogs are territorial and maybe they are just protecting their territory, but it makes me nervous. Since a dog's reaction to something that's moving fast is to chase it, I've thought of peddling by very slowly, but then I'd feel like an easier target. Any ideas?
