It catches me off guard and I roll left only to see another even bigger black dog on that side. I was going like 22 mph and cranked it up a few more but these buggers kept pace and ran me off the road into the gravel. I recovered and they finally gave up pursuit. Man was I pissed! I heard the stupid farmer calling his dogs back then. I yelled for him to keep his fu****g dogs on a leash. Scared the heck out of me and now I'm somewhat concerned about going back on that route.
ALso i wonder how that second rider faired....
I know the feeling. I got chased once by a pitbull after about 40 miles. It was up a slight incline, I first tried to outrun him and he stayed right on me.
I thought I was toast and then he decided to give up. I stopped about a 1/4 mile down and I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest.
