Anybody race the Lincs league cross race yesterday at Bourne woods. My mate said a deer ran through the pack just after the start taking a load of riders out from about P6 back? he was in front luckily so didn't really know what happened?
Maybe bikers are now fair game for deers/gazelles/wildebeast etc after the Youtube thread which dominated the forum last week?
I've read that the Wildebeest migration is going via Mountain Mayhem next year.
I hope it's not been caught on video. The sheer number of threads will break the interweb
I saw a stag at cannock yesterday at the view point atop the monkey.... impressive aren't they.
Isn't there a video clip of something similar to that floating around this forum?

that has to be about the lamest coincidence ever:
1. A mountain biker in Africa was hit by an antelope.
<meanwhile, thousands of miles away and some weeks later>
2. Some CX riders had a Deer run past them.
Spooky!
The deer are up to something. My wife and I were chatting about [i]that[/i] vid on the way to the FOD Sunday and one jumped out in front of us. Thankfully it changed it's mind before putting a new dent in the car
(near the jumpy jump area)
to be fair there is a "beware of the deer" sign nearby
Someone got their back wheel taken out by a deer at the D2D.
The deers aren't happy!! 😀

Your probably right, your coincidence about seeing a set of chimney sweep brushes in screwfix was much more interesting!
I was merely concerned and wondered if anybody was hurt coz if it was anything like the video, it could have been pretty serious?
Lesson learned, I will choose a more appropriate title for my next post.
He does raise a good point though, it's not really a co-incidence. Had it been an escaped gazelle it would be more weird. Or if the deer had the sole South African in the race. But otherwise... not so sure.
A bit like Alanis Morrisette's "Ironic" where nothing is actually ironic, just a bit shit.

I did think that when I typed that not long afterwards... I guess it was a coincidence that I was writing about two coincidences in such a short time span.

Excellent. My work here is done 🙂

See also 'random', and its myriad misuses where 'abstract' would be more appropriate.
Anyway, I am not in the mood for pedantry - I have just handed in my notice and the world is a happy place :o)
