"I did NOT just roll over a .... !"

I was once riding in a charity ride cruising along about 25 feet behind the tail of a 5 person line. I was close enough to hear the following: "road kill right," "mindroad kill right", " road kill", "road kill" "OH ****!". I swerved a bit wider than I had planned just to be safe.

ick ick ick, it was said before but bears repeating. Ok, that said

• glad bunny was already dead and in bunny heaven
• that musta been a "big" bump
• glad you didn't get any on you
• sorry about the people behind
• and last for best I LOVE MY FENDERS

A few days ago I rode over al really dead and smashed flat snake. It didn't register until I was a few yards past it and realized that it wasn't a piece of plastic or rubber. Better than last year when I ran over a live snake with my vehicle. I heard a thump-thump-thump and pulled over to look and there as a 4 foot snake wrapped around my wheel. He was dead by then but part of him was whacking up against my wheel well. I was at a park and stopped to look it over and a ranger stopped up along side thinking I was having car trouble because I was bent over the car and he identifed it as a blue racer. ICK!

I rummaged around in the brush and found a stick to try to get him off my wheel. It was really gross and icky and creeped me out for the rest of the day.

Last week I was riding a meandering road through a residential area. I wasn't paying much attention to the road surface. Suddenly I noticed that I had just barely missed "something" as that "something" passed beneath my right pedal. My mind's first reaction was "Why did somone dump some chili on the road?" Then I noticed the bushy squirrel tail. I did not go back to look.

I got distressed once when I rolled over a road kill squirrel.
