bolted out of work wanting to get some climbs in. after warming up for about 10 minutes i hit zion and started my climb. got a little winded the first time up but recovered pretty well. down long hill then back up and then down zion when all of a sudden, DEER!! almost killed myself suddenly braking at 40ish mph. but it ran away thankfully and no incident came out of it. headed back up zion in a higher gear then one more time up long hill. this time i clicked into an extremely high gear. was pulling up on the pedals to get to around each time for part of the climb. but this is going to build major power for me. headed down zion again with no wildlife interference. ride;
