"Bear mauls girl during mountain bike race"

"Grizzly suspected in attack along trail during 24-hour event in Alaska."

As someone who has participated in a couple of 24-hour events, I'm glad to say that my exposure to wildlife at 24-hour races is limited to small rabbits and field mice darting through the singletrack at 3am and wandering members of Team Hamana.
All pretty tame compared to being mauled by a bear.

We hope that the rider heals up & is able to get back on the bike soon.
