Here is how it happened. 3 of us were in Brunswick on our way to White's Ferry. After we portaged our bikes over the trail closure and started towards WF the skies got supet dark , followed by torrential rain and lightning. The ride became this mad sprint attempt to avoid getting stuck on a flooded trail. As the miles went by the water depth was about 5 to 10 inches. We were drinking the rain, dodging low hanging branches and hoping there weren't any deep potholes on the flooded trail. I was leading the pack when my buddy reported a bear just dashing get immediately behind me to cross the trail. We just kept sprinting. I found out about the bear when we rejoined at the Ferry. 🙂👍
