Wow! Interesting story! I usually start to hold back when I reach 40 but DH has gone as fast as 50! He scares me and I have asked him not to go that fast. I think he's only done 50 once. We have a route that takes us to a hill with a 9% grade. He left me in his dust one time and took off down the hill. I noticed a pickup truck behind him. When I reached the bottom of the hill Joe and the truck driver were talking to one another at the stop at the intersection. Joe told me the driver rolled down his window and asked Joe how fast he was going because he could not pass him! That's when I discovered how fast he was going and flipped out!

The guy who ran into the bear was lucky breaking just a few ribs but I don't understand why the bear ran off only after a deer appeared. But interesting story! Perhaps the poor bear was in shock and the deer brought him around!?
