I usually start around 5:00 am, so the early pics are difficult to record even w/ a flash and headlight.

My usual run includes about 12 miles of park or city trails. Here are a couple of pics from my friday ride.

I ride about 7 miles on city streets until I reach the Park Entrance.

View along the shore just as the light is bright enough.

I took this a couple of years ago mid Sept. on this same trail. I was only a few yards away with a cow moose directly behind me.

I encountered 5 additional moose along the way. I stopped for pics of all of them, using flash and headlight to record them. Alas, the pics turned out totally black. I may be able to catch a few later in the season on my ride home from work.

I think I'd steer clear of a moose!

Good youtube of a stomping. We have to pass at least 3 sets of cows & calves on our daily commute. Sometimes you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. We try and stay from going in between the cow and calf, but sometimes they are on opposite sides of the trail w/ no way around them. You either try to sneak through or wait until they leave. Of course in the dark, all you see are their eyes glowing in your headlight

I don't know what I'd rather deal with, angry moose or angry cabbies.

Arcticbiker, thanks for these.

I thought you'd like to know that I share your commute stories--especially that one last week, with the beluga whales, salmon, etc.--with my friends and family here in NC. We're all extremely jealous of your commute and surroundings.
