Hitchhiker?

I saw a red squirrel on my last mtn bike ride a couple of weeks ago. Very neat.

I had a porcupine in my wedding party but I'll save that story for another day...

I guess after years of working in wildlife rehab I would rather trash my bike and break my neck than run one over. Oh well. I don't go that fast so it shouldn't be too bad of a crash...I already missed a deer. How did we go from look at the cute squirrel to road kill anyway?!

I don't mind them mountain biking because I am so darn slow no way I couldn't stop! But they are scary because they are more hidden. I think I jacked it to road kill, sorry.

I am scared of them but not as scared as the cows in the Hill Country. Open range ranches are some scary stuff when you are cycling, does everyone realize how easy cows spook? At least a squirrel only weighs 2-3 lbs not several hundred (thousand?) pounds. At least they usually aren't longhorn cattle out open range.
