Rémy Métailler - Gopro Face shot Whistler - Gopro POV - DH MTB

Have not posted a lot of non-Zentangle items in a while. Saw this video and thought it was a great video. I do not do any off road or mountain trail riding. At the point in my life that I enjoy a more leisurely ride. It is fun to watch others go down these trails. I hope you enjoy it.

CONTOUR: Marcelo Gutierrez's Winning Run - Valparaiso Urban Downhill 2013

Not sure why people like doing this. It is exciting to watch. Would be fun to do, but not as part of a race. I think I would take it at a much slower pace.







Do not think that have anything like this in Central Indiana. Don't anticipate there being any anytime soon.

Deer Attacks Cyclist

Fortunately, most cyclists do not have to contend with things like this. Is probably mislabeled in that the deer was just being a deer and trying to get through an area. The cyclist just happened to be in the way.

Whistler downhill, bear on MTB trail

Think this would be fun to do. Do not have places like this in Central Indiana. Not sure that will ever have the opportunity as I only have street bikes. Do not think that my hybrid would stand up to this type of terrain. I would probably go at a much slower pace also.

Have had encounters with wildlife and animals on rides but never anything like a bear. Have just had to contend mostly with rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, dogs, and an occassional deer or wild turkey.  Wonder if bear sightings are not too unusual and that the bear is use to people around. It did not seem too alarmed when the riders went by it. The riders did not seem too alarmed either.
