Don't Call PETA

I was in Oregon a few weeks ago visiting Brady, Brooke and their new baby. After riding with Brady to his school I was riding home along Eugene's beautiful river parkway when it happened. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a squirrel dart out and into my 404 Zipp. I thought I was going to go down, but he hit the hi profile rim and slide up into the spokes turning at 20 mpr, to be shot back the same way he entered. I was suprised that I felt so little. I stopped and looked back and mister squirrel was not in great shape. I went back to find his head in the wrong position, but still alive. I found a big stick and put it out of its bad way. I then found the reason for its irrational behavior.Ride safe and watch out for critters.
