We have a lot of squirrels around here too and I try to forget about their obligatory little head jukes. Haven't hit one yet, knock on wood.
I did go on my first group ride of about 100 miles yesterday and it was really great. However, on a narrow two lane highway I barely missed a road-kill armadillo that came up in a curve right in my line. Thank goodness we were all staggered on the road and for the hand signals that the group gave. I guess it was un-nerving to me beacause I am so new back into riding and because it was on a sweeping curve at 60mph. The rest of the group didn't think too much about it as I spoke with them later in the day. Mostly they just smiled and nodded like it was an everyday occurance. It let me know that I still have a lot to re-learn.
