I was chased on two different occasions yesterday on a dirt road while riding. It is on a part of a marathon route I will run this Fall. The road was washboard bad so either dog could have had me. One owner called his dog back, no apology though. Down the road, the other dog was a Rot mix was close enough to bite. I'm still shook up about it.
I wanted to be able to train (run) on the route of the marathon, but now I'm scared. The house the aggressive dog lives at does not look safe to approach. It is far enough off out in the country, a visit from a cop isn't going to do much other than piss them off.
