    I see gators almost every time I ride. I don't worry too much about them, they normally hear you coming and get out of the way. I'm more concerned about rattle snakes. They are easier to miss until it's too late ;-(

    You're a death roll away from being take-out for the gator you don't see.

    Pretty wild! I'm thinking about riding that trail next month when we're in FL. I'll be on the lookout for that guy! Out here in Cali we have mountain lions. I was cresting a hill on a trail and I saw one about 50 yards in front of me. He didn't hear me right away, so I made a little noise and he turned his head around. He looked at me for a bit and I had that "oh sht" moment and moved my bike in front of me. Probably wouldn't have done any good had he charged me. Then he turned his head back and sauntered off like he could care less. I waited until he was out of sight and headed back down the trail.

    I've seen that gator there before, I turned around. It would take him about 2 seconds to drag you in the water and then drown you.

      Can you imagine getting that kind of footage with your gopro ? But it never gets uploaded. Because .........you know. He became a tasty gator's trail mix. Damn, all for not.

    "We don't have these hazards in North Carolina," yes, we can tell by how you handled that. You're in the gator's home, go around it and don't disturb it. You're lucky the damn thing didn't decide to defend itself on you!

      Lol that’s exactly what I was thinking. No wonder gator attacks have gone up, maybe it’s not the gators becoming more aggressive. It’s tourist, as a Florida native I know to turn around and get try again later.

    I live right near the park and I ride the trails you see gators all the time just tap them with a stick and they will move don't get to close they can turn and get you before you know what hit you
