Squirrel Dodger, Ride Blocker

That's right, I saved the lives of two squirrels as I came around that sweet Fort Saskatchewan singletrack and on two separate corners there was one in the middle of the trail and some hard evasive maneuvering was required. You know... like Batman would. 

And two squirrels were saved. awww

I apologized profusely and he was on his way probably thinking all sorts of terrible things about my dumbass.
