February?

55 degrees in February- you can't pass that up for a ride. The Professor and I headed out on the Keystone trail south from Harrison to the end in Bellevue and back. Wind was pretty good in our face on the way back but still a great ride and great to get out and put in some miles in Feb.



In Bellevue, as the Prof called it "the ghost of Walmart past"


Near Bellevue people on the trail kept telling us to look out for the snake...didn't see it the 1st time we went past heading into the wind but had no problem seeing/hearing the rattlesnake on the return trip. Wife wasn't too happy I got this close to take the pic.

Nice...

Ridden in CO several times. Spent two days in Moab. First time I see a rattle snake is on the Papio trail??? Did not know the rattle on a rattle snake was that loud. That thing was not happy

I read that some Eastern cultures believe that if you drink the blood and liver-bile of a freshly killed rattle snake, it gives you eternal life...... Or maybe it cures male pattern baldness..... Actually I think it was cobra blood..... Anyway, it's probably worth a try.
..... Oh well, opportunity lost.
