BVC-CHAT Mountain lion badly injures Calif bicyclist

[Huebner, Lenae]

good plan.  Perhaps it could have even saved the life of the cyclist that
the mountain lion killed as well.

...The lion pounced on the 30-year-old's back, grabbed her by her head
and 
began dragging her, said her friend, Debbie Nichols. Nichols said she 
screamed for help and grabbed Hjelle's legs in a struggle to free her. 


"He dragged us down ... about 100 yards into the brush and I just 
kept screaming," Nichols said. "This guy would not let go. He had a 
hold of her face." 

Other cyclists in the area threw rocks at the animal until it fled.
