Holding me back from that is angering the owners, I ride evening and night and I am the only road cyclist in the county at those times as far as I know (never seen anyone else).
It was bizarre, never experienced anything close on any previous ride. I also ordered the same pepper spray and have the same reservations as well. We'll see how it goes but I'm hoping it was an anomaly and won't be a sign of things to come as I am interested in really getting to know the gravel roads in the area.
