Luckily I was able to keep the bike up and didn’t fall. Yep, pretty scary. It reared its head at me as I was crossing over it. It then went and stayed by the edge of the water. Here’s a pic of the nasty bugger.
Anyway, I managed to ride a total of 39 kilometers.
This happened to me the other day when I was on the rail trail only it was a squirrel. The color of the fur matched the ground clutter so well, I did not even see it until it was between my wheels, I thought for sure I was going to hit the ground, but got really lucky. Stupid fuzzy rats.
