You never know when you will need to do a quick 180.
I was just riding the highway from New Denver to Kaslo BC on the road bike. Just before the summit at Bear lake I ran into a big black bear boar. The bear was upwind of me so I whistled and started talking to it and he stood up in the middle of the highway to try to figure out what I was.
This is when the quick 180 comes into play...
The bear went back up the bank and was nearly invisible as soon as it stepped into the bush.
I turned back around and waited for a vehicle to come along and I signaled it to slow down and pointed to the trees up the bank.
I jumped on the trailers back bumper and sprinted through the area where the bear was. Tough to do after a 1 hour climb but I had some motivation!
The mountain biking and the road biking around New Denver is amazing by the way and if you find yourself going to this area make sure to take the bikes! (Or your Porsche! Beautiful roads to drive.)
