I found my spirit animal today
 
I was on vacation with my family for nearly 2 weeks eating our way through Thailand. I went for a 20-miler this morning and decided to hit up some hills. On the last climb, I encountered my spirit animal. Seemed fitting.

My spirit animal is a cross between a Gorilla and Turkey.

Relieved to see that your spirit animal wasn't a nervous squirrel in the spokes. Or a very impatient snake trying to cross the road in front of you. :thumb:

That's a lot of climbing to be doing without at least a couple of "foot dabs".

That actually happened to me once when I was commuting home through a canyon in San Diego. Baby/small rattlesnake was crossing the bike path as I was going through. It's probably the only time I've successfully pulled off a bunny hop.

never really thought about a spirit animal before. intriguing. saw a baby bunny, trail side, the other night, at dusk. little baby hops. wicked cute. almost ran it over. but didn't

My spirit animal is a manatee.... definitely an aquatic mammal but the bike helps me cope with the hardships of life on terra firma.

I think I'm a racoon....

Mine is the bear. I’ve seen at least 7 while riding or camping during tours, including 4 between 2017 and 2019.

Wait! You're riding in Thailand? In the Summer? Up hills? You don't drown?:)

One of two snapping turtles I saw during a 2018 tour.

Years ago I was out for a ride in Michigan when I came across a box turtle crossing the road, Quiet road but he had a ways to go. I was concerned, So I stopped and picked him up. He didn't like that at all! Completely frustrated that his legs were 1/4" too short and all he could do was brush my fingers with his claws. I set him down gently in safety. He wasn't a bit thankful.
