Bird Attack!!


Attack twice by birds tonight. Twice!!
I was out for a ride along the fox river after dinner tonight.  It was real hot and humid so no one is out, heading to by LBS (local bike shop) to pick up the recumbent and drop off the LHT for some brake work before the tour. 
And out of nowhere, in a tight twisty section of the trail where what I felt was like a hand grabbing my head.  I knew it was a bird but WTH.   And of all things I had forgotten my helmet so it was in my hair.  Just Creepy! 
So on the way back, on the recumbent, I made the decision to pedal as fast as possible thru that section.... just in case.  Dive bombed again!! and I saw it out the corner of my eye this time.  A Blackbird attacking the back of my head!!  Just plain creepy to have that thing in your hair.

Yet another reason to always have a helmet on.
