Yep, that was me! As I said, I didn't see the dog and didn't realise that I was looking at an unseen hazard - had I realised, I would have further moderated my riding. I'm usually very cautious around loose dogs, and of course it's only reasonable of dog-owners to expect that their dogs can run free in a park. As it is, I think my commitment to canine right-of-way has been sufficiently demonstrated!
