I had a badger run in front of me when coming back from a camping/touring trip so I was pulling a trailer and doing about 25MPH but that

In summer me and son in law were doing our evening 20 mile xc route and a Badger ran out of the corn field and along the side of me...I dont startle easy but i think i may have shreiked..give me a wtf moment and put me on course for the ditch..Badger 1 meta lon 0..

I'd forgotten about this story but the vid reminded me.

A few years ago I was working at a company in the countryside. Employee comes in one morning, ashen-faced. Colleagues gather round. After a few minutes I wandered over to see what the fuss was about. He was driving along the country lane and a deer jumped out in front of him and he hit it at pretty well full speed. Poor guy was completely freaked out by the sight of a full-grown deer hitting his car and rolling up over the windscreen

I tried to make some mood-lightening remark but that was a fail. Turns out the deer was dead and the car was a virtual write-off. Poor guy had to walk the last mile or so to the office as his car was trashed and couldn't be driven. Never found out what happened to the deer, I suspect it was quietly "recycled" by the locals.

Was it a Doe or a Deer or even a Female Deer?

I was out riding in Spain with a mate and his son in the summer. My mate was at the back his son at the front and me and the son just heard the warning shout "GOATS" from the back and bugger me if there wasn't a whole heard of them 10 feet to our left. Luckily they weren't trying to cross the road.

I had goats threaten and bully me in France. I don't know anything about goats, they were hanging about in the road blocking my way and looking at me with baleful malevolence, I went "shoo!" And they stared at me chewing cud. I think one made a hurtful remark. Quite scary, I think goats can break your leg with one flap of their arms.

A ray of (golden) sun in an otherwise gloomy thread.

my biggest brown trouser moment was descending long mynd at about 60 kph a sheep started to walk across my path as cars were coming the other way up the pass.

fortunately, the sheep turned back, but needless to say i practically wore the brake pads down the rest of the way down the descent…

It doesn't even look like a cycle lane, rather the edge of the road. Either way it would no doubt be covered in all sorts of crap. Odd really as it doesn't even look like a busy road. Apart from random deer of course!

Some places, that's all you have. I don't think it's PCH(Pacific Coast Highway) He may be on Bridgeway or 2nd St., a little more coastal to Richardson Bay than 101 at that point. That little deer probably has a post up on a deer forum somewhere-"I went out for a walk, and look what happened!"
