Subject: RE: Anyone doing Portland Century this Sunday? It was almost a little cold this morning and it sprinkled for a couple minutes in Sandy. Not exactly what they had forecasted. But it cleared up and was a really nice day. My excitement for the day came during the climb out of the Sandy river canyon past the Bull Run Res. About 50 feet in front of me, a black bear ran out from the bushes and started to cross the road. He paused about 1/3 of the way across and looked at me for a split second. He then high tailed it across the road and up the embankment on the other side. That was definitely a first for me. I've run across raccoons, skunk, and other small animals out riding. But never a bear! |
