Decided to go shred around Chula Vista Snake Trail today. I was coming down a fast single track that leads into a very tight and fast left hand rutted corner. I came into the corner, and as soon as I get the tire into the rut to nail the turn I lean in and find a surprise on the inside of a corner... a medium sized mountain lion laying down.
Here's where it get's "interesting". As soon as I saw what it was, the thing stands right up and starts not so much running, but prancing/jogging in my direction and when I got about 100ft away it just went into a sprint. I thought I was toast. But after I took a right hand turn I couldn't see or hear it anymore.
Never saw it the rest of the ride. But I'll you this much, I sure as hell didn't ride the trail back and took it upon myself to cruise through the neighborhood after.
Figured I'd share this with people. I don't really have dangerous encounters with critters to often so this had me white as a sheet. Thought I'd end up as cat food
