Beware the wildlife… NSFW for language

You really need to be actively fucking with skunks for them to spray. They keep their tails up full time doesn’t mean they going for ya

I was almost at the end of a hard 25 mile ride at dusk as well, went to grab my bottle to drink the last of my water and looked down for half a sec. I heard something bark at me, looked up and thought it was a cat about 5 ft from my front wheel till I saw it swing the tail up and it had the stripe. Glad I was on a slow paved road with how fast I slung the bike to the opposite side.
