This means that you can come and ride a little with the group without being too far from the car and a bail out spot. Still worried you won’t be able to ride the whole loop? No problem! We always take a lap on the beginner friendly green loop before doing the larger intermediate blue loop. We also take extra breaks to let everyone regroup. New to trail riding? No worries! At this ride we ALWAYS have “sweepers” that stay at the back of the group and help newer riders find their way without worrying about being dropped by the group or slowing everyone down. Since then it has evolved into the biggest, most inclusive group ride around with an average turn out of 25-30 riders every week!!!! We started this special ride with a few passionate riders about 4 years ago.

Another thing I distinctly remembered was a long ass tail.The Great Pumpkin Metric (GPM) is a scenic, rural bicycle tour through southwestern Indiana. When I got home I jumped on the Internet to view pics of mountain lions and got a chill down my spine as I was looking at the photos. I consider myself lucky today! I’m going to put on some clean underwear now. I don’t think I’ll do the trail alone again unless I have some protection (gun, pepper spray, pit bull, Tracey, grenade). I’m sure he is okay but I’m going to report the sighting. Anyways I looked for the runner but did not find him. I didn’t cry until I got back to the parking lot because I have pride. Once my brain confirmed it was indeed a mountain lion I quietly turned around slowly jogged in the opposite while looking behind me every other second. I couldn’t believe the size of this freaking cat. I was about 30 feet away and he never saw me but I'm sure he knew I was there. His body was facing directly towards me but his head was twisted around because he was licking himself. I slowed down but I didn’t stop moving towards him because my brain didn’t translate what I was seeing. When I saw the big cat he was on the side of the trail. At this time another runner past me up on the trail. I haven’t been this scared since Gizem took over sales analysis reporting.īefore I saw the beast I had stopped for 20 minutes to talk to this retired couple with three Golden Retrievers. Murphy Park past the water towers along the hiking trail by the mansions.
