I agree, mostly. But a few weeks ago I was on my normal 150 mile loop, in a forest section. Up ahead was a hog two up, and in front of him was a bicyclist. The hog was about to pass the biker, and I was planning on passing the biker and then the hog.

The hog cleared the biker. I was on my final approach to the biker, when, right in front of my freakin face, a doe shot across my bow. I swear I could've reached out and slapped her ass, but she was gone.

If I was running just a tad faster, I would've plowed into her.

Totally unavoidable.
