Almost hit a deer fawn this morning.

I was flying down the road, saw a doe cross ahead of me but I didn't slow down because she was far enough ahead. Big mistake. Where there is one deer there is usually another.

Sure enough, Just as I'm coming to the location, a small fawn with spots darts out in front of me. I slid back in the saddle and squeezed the brakes.

My front wheel squeals like crazy when breaking hard. I didn't hit it but I think I scared the spots right off that fawn.
