Default The Oaks, big cat sighting
Was at the top right at dusk last night with Jerry and Shitty. On the way down after the rock section and before the drop there was a Large mountian lion.
I did not see it but it stopped Jerry in his tracks. He said it just went on about it's way.

Just something to keep in mind when doing your solo night rides out there.

Whow!
Can't tell from the description, where were you?
At the top after the b!tches?

Wonder if there is just one or a few lions there. Seems like they've been active lately.

Lucky you were not riding with ecodork, he would try to get close enough to the cat to pet it!

Or with Dean. He'd probably ask it to stop and pose so he could take a picture.

The last one I saw I did not get my camera out in time. Bummer.

It might get all dirty from the pork chop he has hanging there.

LOL! I totally forgot about the pork chop and cat nip he hangs from his neck. Maybe he could attach the camera to his handle bars.

Resembling that remark...that is why I carry a pork chop, just hope I get it off my neck and in the cats direction in time.

That's right! You don't have to be faster than the cat. Just faster than your buddy. When we rode Oaks the same day someone reported a sighting, we all stayed impressively close climbing the B's after we saw the sign.
