Rattlesnake Roundup Tuesday Night Worlds
There are so many interesting experiences that one encounters while riding a bicycle. It could be a angry redneck, 3 legged dog, birthing cows or insane weather. A rattlesnake is one those interesting encounters for sure. This was my second wild rattlesnake encounter. Both times came while riding the bike. All you non Natural Stater’s please note it’s quite rare to see one of these critters and count yourself lucky if you do. Unless you get bit of course. To hear the rattle is something else. On both occasions I’ve heard the sweet sound of I’m about to put my fangs in you. Pretty cool.
Le Tour
Okay Le Tour has been great. I was super worried it was going to be boring with Sky dominating the dojo. After stage 8 I think we all thought it was the beginning of the end. Stage 9 was a pleasant surprise! Richie Porte is remarkably candid in his interviews and I’ve been enjoying seeing the tour through his perspective on CyclingNews. I’m still not a fan of Froome. Someone needs to give him a hug or something. The aggression of Movistar and Garmin has made for some great spectating. Cannondale took the bull by the horns on stage 7. I love how everyone is fighting for something with tons of passion. The passion seems to elevate to another level at Le Tour.
Very pretty snake! It’s a timber rattlesnake. Thank you for moving it off the road.
Sure thing. You’ll have to thank Heath though. He did all the work. Always an adventure when out riding!
Bryan, thanks for identifying the snake as well.
