I almost ran over a squirrel
Due to the relatively good weather, I decided to play hookey from work and go riding today instead. (As it turns out, there wasn’t too much work to be done today either).
To make a long story short, it was awesome. I overcame my commonsense and learned to huck from something higher than 3 feet, and it was nice to have the trails all to myself.
Oh, the squirrel thing? On my run down Upper Mel’s (trails that lead from across the Maggie Bentson Centre field to University Drive) I encountered a grey squirrel. As I came around a corner, the startled little rodent jumped down from a sapling, and dashed across the trail, two feet infront of my front tire.
Luckily for both of us, having noticed a large moving thing in the bushes, I had already slowed down, avoiding an fatal accident.
On a related note, the forcast looks great for the next week. Going dirtjumping on Saturday will be awesome.
