Reminds me of a video clip I saw some years ago of a bear running across the track in front of a fast moving mtb in BC, Canada during an event. Pete |

I've got photos of a bear sitting next to our trail in Whistler, BC. While we took it we were also prepared to make a fast exit - fortunately gravity assisted. Tony |

James Annan thought it would be good to say:

You had a grizzly trying to film you? I didn't stop to ask. Actually it seemed in a bit of a hurry...perhaps it was desperate for a **** (isn't that what bears do in the woods). James |

While in Yosemite national park in September, I rounded a corner and almost rear-ended a stationary motorcar which had anchored up sharpish to avoid running down a small bear (who, from its expression, clearly did this sort of thing for fun). Fortunately it was a very small bear and I was in a motorcar, so if it /had/ become mardy, I would probably have won on points (though it was a convertible, so perhaps not...) Were I a cyclist in California, though, I'd be far more worried about cars than cats. -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ ================================================== ========= Editor - British Human Power Club Newsletter http://www.bhpc.org.uk/ ================================================== ========= |
