Wonder if he'd still be in one piece if that had been a grizz?<br><br><b><i>Caryl Bergeron <caryl_bergeron@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<br><br><blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div>So much discussion about bear spray. How about some fun bear stories. For example:</div> <div> </div> <div>My hubby and I were mountain bike touring in the LoLo pass region west of Missoula a few years back. Now with a mountain bike loaded to the gills with touring equipment, making a whole lot of noise just ain't a problem. You bang and rattle so much it's nice to have quiet when you come to a stop. We were cruising along nicely on a fairly flat section of dirt road when we heard a rustle off to our left. Hubby went around a nearly 180 deg blind bend before me and very nearly crashed into the side of a big old black bear. If he hadn't slammed on the
brakes we would have had a bear/bike wreck. Just imagine trying to report that to your insurance agency. "Hey the bear didn't show any hand signals."</div> <div> </div> <div>Anyway, the last thing we saw was that poor frightened bear's butt hurrying away down the hill just as fast as its chubby little legs could carry it.</div> <div> </div> <div>And they say bikes trigger the chase instinct in bears. </div><div> </div><hr size="1"><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=49935/*http://games.yahoo.com">Bored stiff?</a> Loosen up...<br><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=49935/*http://games.yahoo.com">Download and play hundreds of games for free</a> on Yahoo!
