Nope, it was flattish in the front and high in the back....like a grasshopper (except the way it moved smoothly) or a big scorpion (except there are none in WI) and it seemed to have legs to the side, and went through a few of those weirdly sudden, mechanical, instant direction changes as I whizzed by in front of it. (Unlike mammals, who tend to pause, look where they're going, change speed, etc....or freeze and be squashed.)

Re your day--it's those serious conversations with fellow cyclists that bring joy and camaraderie to the trails.
