We had 5 riders for the Wed. evening ride this week. Matt, Dan, Mike K., David C. & myself once again battled 20+ mph winds. It was hard going all the way to Bailey. Leaving Bailey heading towards Conner on Old Smithfield Rd. we were ambushed by a black lab and a +/-130 lb. Rottweiler. All those miles last year without going down I was overdue so I took one for the team. I t-boned the horse as he slid in front of my wheel. We were both putting on the brakes but that dog was so big he just slid across the asphalt. Man vs. Dog I did ok as I laid him over and he lost some fur in the process, but Man vs. Asphalt I didn't do so well. Mike also decided to lay his bike down to give me some company there on the asphalt. He and his bike seemed ok. As we were leaving the scene after a few minutes of shaking off the cobwebs and doing some minor bike repairs the dog charged us again. I took a short cut from there and limped home after I convinced the group to continue on the planned route. Where are those pills.......
