Managed to squeeze in about 4.5 miles this morning before the sun even came up.

My favorite part about biking in the rural area behind my home is the nature I encounter along the way.

There are a number of horse farms and it’s close to a river – so animals are abundant.

This morning, however, a first.

I saw a bunny hanging out in the grass off the road to my right.

I passed it- it looked at me….

And as I kept riding, I saw this little white thing bouncing up and down to the right.

I realized, it was bunny tail.

He was racing me! It last about :30 and then he stopped and just looked as I kept riding.

I had this fear that he was going to dart out into the road in front of me and then I would pretty much die trying NOT to run him over.  (Which almost happened to be recently with a squirrel.)

Thankfully, he was a good bunny and just chilled in the grass.
