I had my 1st animal strike this am on the bike trail. I was out at about 445am today crusing along when all of a sudden out of nowhere this racoon walks right out in front of me at about 18mph. I held bars tight and hit him directly in the rib cage. He hissed at me as he was thrown to the side of the trail. I was always worred about this and today i found out 1st hand. I am sure i am lucky as i must have hit him just right for it not to cause me to go down. Jerry
