Hey Jonny,
Almost too unbelievable to be true, a cyclist was killed after hitting a deer out here in Ulster county.
Friggin shocking, Budd was a totally nice guy.
He’s the second person I’ve known to hit one.
Another friend Doug was literally tackled of his bike in the beginnings of a 120 mile ride we call the Tour Du Pain that runs through the Catskills.
Though Doug faired a bit better and was even able to finish the course after a lot of bandages and some new wheels.

Our condolences to his friends and family.
I still feel lucky about missing an elk by 3 feet last year. Gotta watch for those wild things as well as the cars. Hell gotta watch for everything.
Damn. I almost hit a deer (actually two deer in tandem) on a road near New Bern NC a couple of years ago. I laughed it off but it scared me considerably at the time.
RIP to the cyclist. Damned Shame.
Careful on the techy descents, fellows:
