Yang Posted May 30, 2010 Share .... the little green grass snake. Brought in by my cat. I took Bertha out today and set her free in bush far away from human habitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yang Posted May 31, 2010 Share You're lucky to be alive! Saw a spider in my garage yesterday... had to walk to work today! Where in Mozambique are you? . I'm at a sugar estate north of Maputo. On a sad note, I came across this puffie this morning, after nearly riding over a snout nosed cobra. I saw the cobra on my side of the track going into some grass and my mate was heading straight for it. I shouted and he did an endo, nearly landing on it. It cleared his sinus- really funny. Then about 500m on we saw this chap, head crushed in. A few k's later we came across a Mozambican cobra which had been decapitated. Really sad. I haven't seen so many snakes in one ride- all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclewizz Posted May 31, 2010 Share I'm sure you really glad when you finish you ride safely. Do the snakes make you ride faster ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted May 31, 2010 Share I'm sure you really glad when you finish you ride safely.Do the snakes make you ride faster ? Actually, yes- they clear my sinuses, so I breathe easier and improve my oxygen intake. I used to keep snakes as a kid, but seeing a puffie or a mamba crossing the track still gives me an adrenalin rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Bie Posted May 31, 2010 Share I'm sure you really glad when you finish you ride safely. Do the snakes make you ride faster ? In my past I used to cycle on the Namaqualand west coast. The cobras used to lie on the edge where the tar and the sand met until I came past battling against the wind. Normally the pace wasn't much to talk about and the noise of the wind in one's ears is quite deafening after a while. You want to see a sprint against the wind when one of those beauties suddenly raise their sleek heads hissingly in my direction. I still get the goosebumps!!

mikkelz Posted June 2, 2010 Share I'd prefer to ride past a dead snake than one that was alive to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
