Went for a nice ride for father's day. Only marred by one thing. I was riding along a rural road and there was a deer carcas on the other side of the road. 2 turkey vultures were at the buffet, and as I approached they took off. 1 went left the other curved right, directly into my path. They are very big birds and dont take off that fast. I had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting it. I would estimate that thing had about a 5 foot wingspan. I was ducking and braking hard, but I think I might have been able to grab a feather if I had been any closer. I hit a starling or some other small bird a couple years back. That flexed my windshield enough to crack it at one of the mounts. I think that vulture might have been enough to take me down if I had hit it. Oh well. No harm done, but I'll definitely slow down if I see another one of those things feeding along the road.
