We get bear encounters around these parts every year. Usually it's black bears, but grizzlies poke their heads up regularly. If there is a grizzly with cubs in an area, I simply find someplace else to ride.

Bikes: K2 ,, Sorry its a cheap bike for now ,, I'll step up when I got the funds !!!!

That happened about 5 miles from where I live ,,, My Aunt works for Providence hospital where she saw when she came in ,,, she told me that the girl was pretty busted up ,, but tough as hell to be concious and able to keep focused ...

I hear she's recovering well ...
