Last Sunday while running - I watched this car that was going at most 10 miles per hour - it went off the road and ran into a telephone pole - the guy gets out of the car and looks at the damage - then just walks off. That was bizzare.

I think he fell asleep or something - The car was not going fast - so I do not think his foot was on the accelerator.

As for bizzare animal -- that did happen on the bike -- was about ready to go around some dead opossum when it stood up and ran across the road. At first I thought I was being attacked by Zombie Road Kill.

Dude- pick up the news stand version of the People magazine special copy this month. It focuses on people who had near death experience and the like- natural disasters, animal attacks, falling off mountains, trapped in blizzards, etc. There is an article in it about two ladies that got jumped by a mountain lion while MTBing. One got torn up really bad but survived to find out that the lion that got her had put the chomp on a MTBer earlier that day who wasn't so lucky. Look at it the next time you wonder down the magazine ilse. Scary!

Dead or badly injured motorcyclists are apparently not that uncommon in the angeles crest. Just about a year ago, we came across a dead biker in the road about 25 miles up there. My buddy said it was his third such time in the last 8-10yrs up there. :-?

On the '05 Angeles Crest century, they stopped us for 20 min while they airlifted a biker from around the bend from where we were stopped. <:-/

No, but that Zombie Roadkill someone else encountered might have.
