I was rolling at a good clip down a slight hill on a MUP a few years ago. Dead tired, long ride, HOT day, head looking down resting..a couple miles from the end of the ride. MUP was through a swamp on both sides with a little grass along the trail...middle of nowhere. I looked up and saw a doe just off the trail and about 5 feet ahead of me. I'm cruising at about 20mph. We both saw each other at the same moment..I think we both were equally surprised. She bolted as I came by and jumped over my rear wheel. I cringed and thought she was going to take me out as she was jumping as I arrived..split second later she was gone..near miss. freaked-me-out.
