Rules of riding - the preservation of my own life is more important than that of a critter scrambling on the pavement. If there is opportunity to make evasive actions to save a life, I won't do it unless I know that makes sense. It's a split second decision... when in doubt, hold your line.

I mentioned my hit on beginnertriathlete when someone in the Georgia section showed a picture of a fat copperhead they saw on the Silver Comet Trail. They flipped out on me thinking I tried to nail it on purpose. I did apologize for not swerving into a tree though to save a snake.
