Default Rode the Gauntlet LMAO!

60* this morning sunny with a 7mph wind got on the bike and left out on a 30 mile run out on a nice twisty country road, Was just getting into it when all of sudden out of the woods along the right five deer came charging out of the woods at a dead run and ran out to the fog line about 100 feet in front of me I was running 5th gear at 7,000 RPM with open Akra cans, I had just time to roll off the throttle and start for the breaks when they stopped and turned and ran back into the woods. Chalk up one win for loud Akra CF cans! Trip continues 10 miles later running down a straight stretch of road and a Big Tom Turkey jumps up from the weeds on the left side road bank and and cross's just behind me at head height. Crazy morning! but I made it back with no more thrills. NATURES CAGERS GOT TO LOVE EM!

Im always scared of things like that happening to me.
I have always been scared that when I am riding up in the mountain that i might come across a mountain lion.
My budie had a mountain lion run in front of him 20yards away.
