What kind of animals do you see during training rides?

[Sofía_]

Near home there's no much urban zones, in only a few kilometers i'm surrounded by grasslands with some animals. in my training rides i see:

Guinea Pigs (cuises), Hares (liebres), Storks (cigüeñas) and Eagles (aguiluchos).

ps: please, no stupid jokes.

Southern California.

And Coyotes and bobcats run the river trail. especially since the lack of rain. Dolphins in the ocean and seals to coots and bob Cats.
A few weeks ago a Squirrel crossed the bike path and went into my spokes. It didnt get sliced because we were going fqst but it did get kiched up into the air and was floating in front of us for a few seconds. Trippy. In the local mountains I have not seen an wildlife really in a long time.

I was riding in Montana once and heard a cat like scream like no cat I ever heard. It was dusk and I was in tall grass. Got the F out of there and memoed myself never to ride alont at dusk or dawn in the wilderness

I've seen foxes, wild turkeys, and hippies plenty of times.

But the worst and most disturbing thing ever was 2 dogs "getting it on" at the kennel. It took me a good 45 minutes to get the horrendous image out of my mind.

Boeing is on the west coast of the United States, southern California.
The Beach Boys had a song about how they wished all the girls could be California Girls.

Plenty of Foxes at the beach in SoCal as well my friends

The Hippies here ride fixies

 

[knewcleardaze]

I see deer, turkey vultures, ground hogs, and snakes. The snakes are usually road kill, though I have seen them warming themselves on the asphalt prior to becoming road kill.

And in my part of California, far north of Boeing, we rarely see dolphins. Last year, on a trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, I did see a few whales, however. My usual rides are pretty rural, so see a lot of wildlife. This past year I've seen bear, fox, coyote, rattlesnakes, and hundreds of wild turkeys.
Good question, Sofia.

Sometimes....

...these guys eat the apples in the back yard. And we see them on the trails out the back too.

I saw a pair of mountain lions once. Looked like a male and a female. I think I interrupted and intimate conversation, "C'mon honey, if you REALLY loved me..."

On the road we see lots of deer, elk, skunks, racoons, rabbits and such.

I almost rode into a kangaroo a while back. I did ride into a small boy a while back; I see humans more often than anything else. They're awful.

I've seen bears, bobcats, snakes, coyotes, racoons, and deer up hwy 2. dolphins, seals, and whales along PCH. helped a girl runner that was scared of a coyote in Griffith Park.
