True Fear

The polar bear discussion (can a human outrun one?) has moved over to a more real level for me this week. You see, a mountain lion was sighted on one of my favorite mountain biking trails, Blackstar Canyon. I know it's mountain lion country back there, but it's been a while since I've heard of a sighting. Mountain lions strike fear into mountain bikers, like sharks do to surfers. It's just one of those things you have to be smart and educate yourself about and never ride in these areas alone. Also videos like below don't help either! And yes, I know it's a tiger in the video but it's still very scary!
