DANGER! DANGER! Beware wandering sheep if MTBing in Greece
Good idea to check your surroundings BEFORE hitting high speeds or taking jumps on an MTB.

DANGER! DANGER! Beware wandering sheep if MTBing in Greece
nnnnnnnnnnnnnn a lumber ad from Canada ? there's a rally video going downhill in a series of swooping curves across rangeland. around the next left hander we see a herd of cattle crossing, we proceed sideways with goatpro at speed into the herd where we T Bone a large black ungulate.... he'll see us...not likely....local noise sez that was a fatal. retards throw corn attracting deer before rush hour. Prob at Dungeness. I was attacked by locals ( see preceding) at the upper John Day River. Escaping, I saw deer ahead on the way up the hill. slowed moving past a dead deer and a dead local Dodge. Wuhwuhwuhwuh.... |

Last week, I had a close call with three young deer who came out of the woods. And several years ago, on a fast descent, a groundhog ran out of the weeds toward my bike. He turned parallel to me just before reaching my line and I passed him with just a few inches clearance. But unlike Joerg, I still don't think riding is particularly dangerous. -- - Frank Krygowski |

DANGER! DANGER! Beware wandering sheep if MTBing in Greece
Per Frank Krygowski:
Animals can be scary! I think the most scared I have ever been was in Germany. Jet-lagged, I was taking a walk between two little towns (Schiesheim and Hahnstatten) through some fields. Sat down on a boulder to admire the night sky. About 8 inches behind me I hear "Whoooooooooooosssssh" and feel hot breath on the back of my neck. I think my heart almost stopped. A big old dairy cow had quietly walked over to check me out. -- Pete Cresswell |

My only collision with wildlife that hurt a bit (but only me) was with a mule deer doe. Early morning, late for a bus, not fully awake, ran along a trail as fast as I could ... *BAM* ... tumble. The deer just looked at me as if saying "And what was that all about?". A few close ones on the MTB but no touches. A friend of one of our neighbors was not so lucky. He had a head-on with a deer on his MTB and did not survive. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

I blunder into utube for highway terror and rallyitis, a hobby, abt 2-3 times a year. The experience is educational. The drivers around you on your local roads are capable or incapable of anything at any time.
One of the bikers was cut off hitting his head on a post or beam...and his head tore off ? |
