I've recently taken up biking in the last year and I enjoy riding on the back country roads of Wisconsin tons. Problem is that lots of farmers tend to have dogs, not tied up, that are very protective of their land. On my routes I've only encountered one major problem. It's this one house on the top of a large hill and every time I've taken my bike on that route two smaller dogs come running and out try catching up to me. To say the least, it gets the adrenaline pumping and I usually "outcycle" them, but I'm worried that one of these times I won't be able too or something bad might happen.
So, my question is, to you experienced riders who have dealt with this before; What is the best method of getting rid of this problem? Staying off that route?
