The Cycling Cat: Reporting the Wild Side of Bicycling 6

Hello, dear reader, my name is Nikita, and I am 10 years old this week.

The human you know as The Cycling Dude has been my life long companion, and bosum buddy, and I have also been his co-blogger for years.

What am I doing here?

This week Daddy is very, very, busy, and so he asked me to fill in for him, and keep you entertained and informed. ;-D

The first post in this series, from March 7, has pictures of me, and a link to where I normally blog, if you are interested.

Daddy will explain everything, when he returns to blogging, I promise. ;-D

So, let's roll!

The Tiger Cat Tour in Wisconsin, from Wisconline's Bike Tour Page:

The dam keeper's tale of his tomcat besting a much larger otter earned him the name Tiger Cat Jack and eventually tagged the whole flowage. The gently rolling terrain (except for the Seeley Hills) will lead you through classic Northwoods lake country where the loon eagle, and osprey are often seen. Wait for them to appear at the dam site on the Little Chief River.

Distance: 35 miles if Seely trailhead is used or 28 miles if OO Rest Cabin is used.

Difficulty: Easy for the short route.

The long route includes a few steep hills.

Trailhead Location: The unicorporated town of Seeley, 10 miles north of Hayward, or the Birkebeiner Ski Trail OO Rest Cabin, 3 miles east of Seeley on County OO, Sawyer County.

3. Canadian Veterinary Journal Reports on Cycling by Cats:

Two cats in the study did not cycle and exhibited anestrus. Of the five cats cycling, eight estrus periods were observed of two to five days duration.

Fascinating! Who the hell knew? ;-D

On that note...it's nap time again!

Catch ya later!
