Allow the former Course Marshal to step up on his soapbox for a moment.
People, please. For whatever reason you think it is a good idea to take your dog to a bicycle race, just don't do it. Nobody loves their dogs more than I do, but I would never put my dogs in such danger. That dog was very lucky to have only been hit by a nearly stopped rider. If a bike (or several bikes) hit him at speed, or if one of the many cars and motorcycles in the race caravan had hit him, he would be a dead dog. I don't care how well behaved your dog is, the risk is just too great to the dog and to the riders. Please don't bring your dog with you to a bicycle race.
There now. I feel better.
