Bikes & Brews Series- Surviving a Cougar Attack. Five friends on a routine gravel ride encounter the unthinkable with Keri Bergere, Annie Bilotta and Aune Tietz

January's edition of Bikes & Brews features an incredible story of bravery and survival. 5 women are out on a gravel ride on a well-known route on a beautiful winter day. The most unlikely and unimaginable encounter turns into a 45 min fight for life and death with a cougar. The bravery, resoucefulness and resilience of the women saves the life of Keri and bonds them for life. The Mountaineers are honored to hear their story directly for the first time. Keri, Annie and Aune will also share many lessons learned about how to prevent and protect themselves from dangerous wildlife encounters.
