When dogs attack
We all share the McAlpine, walkers, runners, bikers and of course the dog walkers.
Every now and then, there’s that dog that comes at you from nowhere. Without warning, it lunges at your leg that’s attached to the bike pedal, leaving you little time to react.
This afternoon, such a situation confronted me, I had visions of rabies shots at the emergency room. Luckily, the owner reacted in time to reel in her ravenous pet, inches away from my leg.
MTB: distance 13.64 miles, average speed 13.7 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
