    a simple squirt of water from your bottle works without hurting the dog. Pepper spray on a bike is a terrible idea due to wind.
    Why the violence? The way you describe abusing an animal is psycho. Sounds like you need to ride more.

    Yea, that violence and abuse most likely saved his life because at the rate he was going he would have eventually broken skin or at least caused me to crash. At that point it would have been a death sentence. His house is only about 1000 yards across a pasture as the crow flies.

    I appreciate how you handled ur situation. It is no fun crashing on a bike, having a dog chasing u is a scary situation. I had a crash I few months ago on a paved road, hit a slick spot and I was very lucky as my head hit the pavement but my helmet prevented injury.
    I will have pepper spray on the Longleaf trail.

    Guys, I live in Lamar County and less than a mile from the Longleaf Trace, and have been cycling on it from the very first day it opened 20 years ago. Although not an an every day rider, I have logged countless miles from Hattiesburg, all the way to Prentiss. I can honestly say that I have never one single incident or intentional mishap. Occasionally I will deal with a discourteous golf cart, or a group of walkers with not leaving enough room to pass. But never any criminal intent. Just saying...

    My family owned land on both sides of the "Rails to Trails" when it was first built. Sold it about 20 years ago. Sad to say I haven't tried it.

    I think there were two or three incidents in close succession about 4 years ago, maybe 5? Right in Hattiesburg I guess where the trail passes through some rough'ish neighborhoods. Not really familiar with how the trail runs but friends from hattiesburg were talking about a couple of muggings. Not sure if it was the same person that was caught, or if they just figured out it isn't very lucrative to rob a bunch of runners/walkers who usually leave everything but a watch and keys (assuming they don't hide their keys or use a keypad) at their car. Pretty serious crime to at best get a bike and cell phone out of the deal when you can just break into cars.
