Oh Dear - That was close!

[Bman]

It was the first frosty morning for a few days, so I was taking this (slightly) more careful than usual. 07:30, nice descent coming up towards a roundabout:



The screech before I shout was from the rim and pads, as I grabbed two handfuls of brake.

That was damn close!

what was it?

 

[MossCommuter]

I nearly jumped out of my skin just watching it!!

 

[ianrauk]

muntjac?

 

[BalkanExpress]

what was it?

Doe...a deer... a female deer....

I'll get my coat

 

[Bman]

muntjac?

yup

I think that my initial response to a deer (or doe or muntjac or whatever 4 legged animal it was) running out on me would match yours to the word! Very close indeed! Did it run out from bushes? Ive had the same with a fox before; that was scary enough; especially in the dark!

Close - blimey - big things to hit. I had a fox jump right out on me a few weeks back - I was off road on the MTB though, and giving it some welly, but it wasn't as close as that.

I saw a fox and a small dear this morning, unfortunately they were in no position to run out in front of anyone,

Muntjac are not really that big. At first (initial split second) I did think it was a fox. Despite its size, I didnt fancy my chances If I had hit it!

I saw an old dear this morning. I managed to avoid her as she was shuffling along the pavement and I was on the road.

Blimey, i'd have made a right 'ol mess of my bibs if that had been me!

Strange I did not hear someone shouting "Fenton" in the background

We need a drum and symbol emoticon for such high quality "jokes".
