OH DEER!

Whew! I got my aerobic exercise tonight. I was returning from town, downhill right sweeper turn, when a deer came out of the woods to my left. It was running from my left and heading forward and right. My thanks to the powers that be. I missed hitting it by an inch. All the hard braking exercises paid off. This is as close as I have come to wrecking in a long time. It brings some thoughts to mind.

While I am not a fan of street or backroad racing I do like riding at a sporting pace. To do that and survive it is good to practice, from time to time, emergency situations. Tonight there was no time to think. My first reaction had to be the right one and without practice I would not have made the correct choice. Luck helps, but it is not dependable. Practice, practice, practice.
