Answering the phone all day at work burns me out, so I get anti-social sometimes. Like yesterday. So, time to shut off the cell, spend a day in the woods & do a long ride by myself. Anyone ever get that way?
Long ride = American Standard? Yep.
Conditions were great! including Mud Road - very passable-. Unfortunately one of the lesser used singletracks was turned into an ATV highway.
Near the end I found that my heart still works fine and I wasn't so alone. Almost ran over a big ole timber rattler! (Dave, is this a timber?)
I jumped, he jumped. I laughed but he sure seemed pissed after. And he held his ground and didn't slither away....not sure why
