Dead snake Sunday

Posted on 21. Apr, 2008 by Derrick in Road Riding

I’m not talking about the D-backs. I’m talking real dead snakes.

Its only 2 weeks untill our big ride in California. So we hit one of our favorite rides to Fountainhills. Its a 55 mile ride with a rather large hill. Watch the youtube video below for a peek at halfway up the hill. (When I’m zoomed in on the GPS unit I was attempting to show my speed which at the time was only 6mph)

At about mile 15 there was a rather large dead snake in the road that I almost hit. When I looked back to see if Summer had ran him over she was laughing and pointing. I gatherd by her pointing at the ground that she hadn’t missed him.

Between now and our California trip we only have 1 more ride scheduled, so we wont have that much activity in commuting. We will do a couple hikes here and there to keep our legs fresh, but we need to keep off our saddles to keep biking in Cali fun.  The next couple of blogs are going to be going over our equipment, route, and plan for our CPH trip.

Till next time
