Dear Greggs,
Today I went out into the beautiful morning sunshine by my lonesome for a solo ride through Maple Valley and Issaquah. Actually it was the same hilly ride that Joc and I did last week. The reason I am writing you dear Greggs is that no one told me what to do when one solo biker encounters a BLACK BEAR the size of a HOUSE!!!! Yes that is right, on lovely Iss-Hobart road at about 10 am, I had to slam on my brakes so that Mr. Bear could meander across my path. He could have fit my entire bike in his mouth he was so freaking large.
So please Greggs, tell me if any of my reactions were correct... I panicked, said a little prayer, and closed my eyes as I pedalled home as fast as I could. When I come in this week to get my pump issue all worked out, could someone at your lovely store talk to me about my protection options? Should I add Bear Spray to my Pack or should i just get a rifle?
Signed a scared, wilderness rider,
Hillary
