A few years back I did a race down in Yreka, CA (Humbug Hurry-up). Great race, 7,000 feet of climbing, trails, fire roads and a fast finish in Greenhorn park.
Anyway, I grinding up a steep climb and I hear the snake. Well being as how I'm so dang slow, a whole lot of people had riden near or maybe even over him before I got there. The snake was right on the edge of the trail, probably 22 inches long and very pissed off!
Fastest acceleration I've ever done on a climb! Shot right around him! Snake bites on tires suck. Snake bites on your own hide suck even worse, especially when you're a long way from help!
Sure gets your heart going, doesn't it?
