I was reading this again and should point out that I'm pretty grateful to have access to bike paths that have deer and geese. I have spent time watching fox kits play around their den, a few drag races with raccoons, watched the trout rising like boiling water during a really good hatch. I'll keep the geese if that means I get to keep the rest of it also.
As much as I dread sharing the bike trail again and the typical strong headwinds, spring is a great time time to bike for the senses.
