I am new to the riding thing, and the other day we were out riding and I saw something lying in the rode ahead of me. (I was riding a 4+ mile loop around my neighborhood) I didin't think much of it except the need to dodge it (not quite as graceful as I would like to be....have fears of breaking my head) anyway as I got up on it I saw that it was a snake and as it was striking at me I was moving farther away from it. Anyway I thought it was kinda cool. It was a poisonous snake called a Copper Head they are reasonalby common around these parts. It was very pretty though a neat coral colored design along the back.
