I saw 3 deer and had a nice encounter with a fox. Most of my 13 mile ride is very rural but the last 2 miles are on a busy road with (thankfully) wide shoulders. I was going along with cars flying by. At one point there was a break in the cars in both directions. This fox comes running across towards me. He didn’t see me at first because he was WATCHING FOR TRAFFIC! He looked just like a pedestrian, looking both ways as he crossed. When he got to my side he ran in front of me and then paralleled me in the field next to the road. I was glad to see that the wildlife has learned how to cross the highway.
