Re: Dogs chasing

I have had dogs who are with their owners in the UK start to give chase and generally I'll stop if there is any risk of us getting tangled. Normally a dog will just stand off and bark then can be encouraged to come and say hello. Often the owner will then get it under close control and you can proce...

Pal Anders Ullevalseter has won the bikes for the last couple of years and I'm pretty sure Jean-Louis Schless...
