North Troy

Big Falls
Today's ride was really good, just over 30 miles, main roads and back roads.  Took a break at big falls, and came back on East Hill Rd for the first time. I had my fastest mile (3'20"), and two consecutive miles under four minutes.  Came back over Vance Hill. Slow going but I didn't stop until I got to the top. First time for that, too (although it was the backside, which isn't as steep).   Felt really good about this long ride.  On my way back, though, I was almost to Newport Center when I heard a flurry of sound behind me.  I looked and saw a big fat rottweiler as it caught up to me.  He only barked once, and seemed satisfied that I wasn't stopping, so he gave up.  I may have surprised him when I talked to him, too.  I wish everyone would tie up their dogs - this is the third time this summer I've been chased.  This one was the closest, though not the scariest (that was the dogs on Nelson Hill that I never saw....)
