Rattlesnake!

This morning we started at 6am, riding a beautiful 12 miles north over the continental divide again (east to west) to Muddy Gap. We had a tail tail wind, and we seemed to float through the desert, between the mountains, with the birds singing. it was a perfect ride.

We stopped briefly at the gas station, the only thing around for miles, then headed east toward Jefferies, another 25 miles west. We then het a head wind, and began drafting each other, taking turns pulling, to minimize the load. along the way we saw a rattlesnake right by the road, alive and rattling! We had passed within one foot of it.
