Snakes

Saw my first one for the season in the Meehan range yesterday. Heard it in the leaf litter next to the trail, caught sight of the back half and tried to hunt it down to grab a photo for Jayne but it was shy. So dry in Tassie atm they'll be out in big numbers looking foe water

Now, if that was an Eagle Transmission© it would have minced the snake into snake sausages and spat it out the back! :p

You are in Tassie @jrewing ? Its a snake infested island.

Those tigers just lay in the middle of the trail, scaring the shit out of you. We also seen a very lazy White Lipped, curled up and not giving a shit about us at Dove Lake.

On one of our trips we counted 17, though that is riding every day for a month.

I'm seeing more snakes in SA this year than I have spotted in years, nearly every ride a brownie sneaks off in to the undergrowth at some stage.

Making bike news now as well.

 
That bikemag article makes me a bit angry when they talk about "increased heart rate from riding would transport more venom..." not how Australian snakes work. Really the bottom of the barrell frustration considering how many bad assumptions people from that part of the world make and publish but still gets to me.

That's dedication! Get attacked by a snake and stretchered off and still upload your Strava. :p

Hope he kept the movement while being on the stretcher as part of it!

Only if he changed the activity type from "ride" to "stretchered". It would be pretty common for mountain bikers. :p
