I should add that this picture was taken about 30 minutes after it happened; there was more residue on the bike immediately after but we didn't stop to take the picture until we were waiting at a regroup later in the ride.

I hit a giant rabbit going about 30mph once in a training crit group ride. I made a thread about it here also. It just amazed me how loud it was when its head exploded.

Also look at the trailing edge of the left fork leg...you'll see a nice red streak there as well. You should've seen my shins...
It was me that the rabbit decided to do a Kamikaze run on. Of course, he didn't realize that I was running low spoke count, bladed spoke wheels and that the trailing edges of my fork are pretty sharp...I don't run that stuff just for aerodynamics you know
BTW, we were going along a bike path at around 20 mph. I literally barely felt it or even slowed down. I think it was lucky (for both me AND the rabbit) that it was his neck that ended up in the "guillotine". I have a feeling the body would've been a bit more substantial...and that might have resulted in a slightly different outcome
Anyway...that was one of those Forte Titan front wheels I've recommended in the past. Didn't affect it one bit. One more reason those wheels are my "best bang for the buck" choice
