Default Death Bike

Yeah, so I keep pegging chipmunks on my bicycle. I've nailed like 4 alone just this week. I must have knocked off like 7 of those things so far this summer. I felt really really bad after the first one...now, it's just getting absurd.

And then there was the Squirrel Incident. The stupid thing flipped out, and couldn't figure out which direction to go to get out of the way. So instead it just got all kamakazi and tried to bike-jack me. It launched itself on to my foot, caromed off on to my back wheel, which then catapulted the thing like three feet forward. I almost crashed because I was laughing so hard.

So, do I give biking to keep the blood of my hands, or do I start putting notches in my frame every time I take one of those things down?

It also sounds like to me that riding your bike is a great way to get meat for making chili.

Wow, that is just bizarre. I would keep on riding, but if you start hitting deer on the thing I think I would give it up.....

Last winter, I came close to taking one out on the snowboard....

Hahaha! Taking out a deer on your snowboard would be a new one. Several years ago at Mary Jane I was riding down to the base area and I saw a fuzzy beanie on the ground. So as per usual I bent down and scooped it up to bring to the base area and it was a squirrel! As soon as I picked it up I realized my mistake and hucked that sucker into the trees. He was fine but was just about as surprised as I was.

Hahaha...I would love to have a video of that....

Yeah, I was bombing down a run one evening last spring after closing; heading down to our annex parking at HRM and came around a corner and this little white tail doe did the left, right, left dance before bouncing across the run into the woods.
