Close encounter with a coyote this morning at the start of my morning ride. I thought coyotes were asleep by seven am, guess I was wrong. He was a pretty big mother and the most disconcerting thing was that he wasn't scared of me at all. He just walked in front of me while I rode and just kept looking at me, kept constant eye contact. finished the ride with a modest 1K of climb, visited starbucks for that caffeine pop then finished off my office speaker mod project.
