It is the type of thing I sometimes have an irrational fear of when on winter night rides, especially when I hear a boar crashing through the undergrowth.

Ah you big dummy, that's just the bridge club, just don't be a straggler or time it to coincide with their visit to the ice cream truck and you'll be fine.

Tough call to make, one of our club was assaulted by the local underage cider appreciation club on Wednesday night while trying to keep them out way while a ride leader patched up a rider who'd stacked it badly on some steps.

Did occur to me that a boar would keep a lioness going for a few days - so she'd only need to hunt once or twice a week and rest up the rest of the time, making it harder to find.

I'm no expert but if I was a lion looking for easy-to-catch food I would take humans over boar every time.

Riding round broxbourne occasionally get to hear the big cats.
It can be slightly unnerving even when you know the buggers are locked up.

The police advice if you come across it, don't make eye contact and don't run!

So just stand there and shit yourself!

Yep, that's how I deal with the feral teenagers.

"Officers were not amused when young people started playing loud roaring lion sounds on a speaker near to the area where the search was going on" 🙂

Where is your pride?

I can empathise - I find it hard enough when restaurants serve fish with the heads on. Nobody likes their dinner staring at them

We have some lions at a place in Strelley, Nottingham. Surprising number of riders think you are winding them up when you talk about riding to the lions - great reactions if you hear them before you see them....

All focussing on the mane story for a change. It took ocelot of time to get to the puns.

Any other news outlets reporting on this? Got any more lynx?

Don't take the lions share, one is fine.

Is it definitely a lion?

I know a zookeeper who took a giraffe into a bierkeller and they drank a stein of Marzen each.

Halfway through the second round the giraffe collapsed, the zookeeper finished the drinks and started to walk out. The gastwirt shouted, "Oi, you can't leave that lyin' there"

The zookeeper replied, "It isn't a lion, it's a giraffe"
