Things that bite in the night

If you need a reason to ride faster in your night laps at 24/9 in early August, read the article about a 14 year old girl who was attacked by a bear while doing a night lap in a 24 hour race in Alaska. Unfortunately, it sounds like she was severely injured. And I might add that Christine just told me yesterday that there are estimated to be 25,000 bears in Wisconsin! (not the same type of bear, though, I don't think)

Better train a little harder...
