I read the paper this a.m. about a black bear who tried to eat a fisherman over on Vancouver Island. It got me thinking about a fun thing we did a month ago at Whistler Olympic Nordic Centre. Some friends told me about the long grade down from Hood River along the Columbia River gorge for a distance of 10 miles. They said on a bike on a warm summer evening it was awesome. So I thought the 10 km, 5% grade down from the Nordic Centre would be fun.
I got some fairly good bear shots closeup too. Question is, can anyone tell me if these bears are grizzlies or just big black bears with sun streaked hair? Also, could I have outrun them downhill on my old Diamondback bike?
