SEPT. 4 ■ "FAITH AND MOUNTAINS" Nursery Care Provided A WARM WELCOME FOR EVERYONE Byline... By Peter Parrott One minute, I was minding my own business as I cycled north of Bowmanville; the next minute, I was under attack. Seconds earlier, I had been marvelling marvelling at the peace and quiet of cycling and how it seems almost like trespassing to pedal silently past houses with the smell of bacon and eggs wafting from their windows windows or front yards where people are washing their cars. On open highway, you hit the floor of the valley and you feel the coolness coolness and the dank scents from a swamp choked with cat-tails. Then there is the warmth from baking asphalt asphalt and fields when you crest the top of a hill. Then there are dogs. Sometimes, they try to make mincemeat mincemeat out of either you or your rear tire, I have been told. But so far, I've always been lucky. Until last week, I'd managed to avoid most close encounters of the canine kind. But this time, things were different. different. The pooch was sitting at the gate to his house as if he were deliberately deliberately lying in ambush. And sure > enough, as I rode by nonchalantly, he gave chase. At times like this, concentration becomes razor-sharp and time seems to pass in slow motion. There's something they call the fight or flight reflex which causes the adrenalin to surge, the heart to pound, and the blood to produce more material for clotting just in case. Fight or flight was exactly what I was wondering about. I recall reading reading that joggers get bitten by dogs because they are a moving target. Supposedly, if you slow down and talk to the growling bow-wow, it will generally turn friendly. I had also read that dogs teeth are designed in such a way that they do most of their damage when their prey tries to pull itself free. But then, you can't believe everything everything you read. And besides, I wasn't jogging. I decided to hit the pedals and pour on the coal. I remember hearing the drumming drumming of tiny paws on the asphalt and the loud barking in the vicinity of my shoe laces. Faster, I told myself. The little paws were still pounding, pounding, and he was still barking, but he seemed to be tiring a little. I wanted to look back but was afraid to turn around in case I lost time. Finally, a few hundred yards later, I risked a sidelong glance and saw the attacker far behind. I began to relax and look around me. Much to my surprise, this showdown showdown took place on a uphill slope. I didn't think I had enough energy left to tackle such a hill at such a speed. It all goes to show the importance importance of motivation. I don't know how my performance will rate on the Canada fitness test. It's doubtful they have a category for outrunning dogs on a 10-speed bike. Nevertheless, I'm a little proud of myself. Even with the handicap of a slight headwind and an uphill road, I have succeeded in outrunning a small dog. Who knows? With a little more training and experience, I may soon be ready for Great Danes or Collies.
