THE JOURNAL NEWS
At least I have never done this. I have nearly hit a deer while mountain biking though. Of course most of you know my history of my sports collisions with animals, the most famous being the groundhog. I used to my sister a really hard time due to her cat vs bike collision years back. I could not understand how that was possible. I have had numerous near misses with groundhogs and bunnies prior to my incident. On my groundhog day, I was mountain biking with Heather and Norm, and I managed to survive the trails without a scratch. We were crusing down a sort of a sidewalk when the groundhog appeared suddenly. Despite my best efforts, I hit it and screamed horribly while I went down. I got a nasty road rash that resulted in some permanent scarring, and I had to see the doctor 'cause my leg ended up swelling up. The groundhog seemed fine and just ran away. I was really embarrassed to tell the doctor how I was injured, that was for sure. Lately I have had a great track record with the natural world in this regard.
