Mountain Biking 1:00:00 [3]

This one is a bit embarrassing. I set the alarm for 5:45am so I could get out and ride and be back to spend the day with Nana and the kids. I headed out in the drizzle to climb up Fromme and ride Espresso again since I still only have enough courage for some trails and would prefer to ride with someone when I go exploring. Anyway I got headed up Mountain Highway at the top right where the last set of houses are and sure enough two black bears come strolling out onto the road. I had my bear spray with me and obviously these guys were pretty far away and not interested in my other than a few head raises but I was still spooked. I watched them for a bit and in that time lost my courage to ride on my own at 6am. I already don't like doing it in case I get hurt but this threw me off. So I rode around some roads and parks lower down and then headed home for coffee and breakfast with the kiddos. I knew Pete would make fun of me but hey I didn't feel like riding these trails with the thought of running into a bear.
