Another Day, Another Stampede

It never gets old. The local ranch cattle, placid around traffic and people, stampedes when approached by bicycles.

Today we passed near one of the local ranches. Cattle were calmly chomping along the fenceline by the road. We got within a block. Heads picked up and faced our way. Seconds later the herd turned and moved rapidly away. Trucks don't bother them. Cars don't faze them. People walking their dogs don't get a glance from them. Two roadbikes quietly spinning past? Stampede.

It never gets old.
