DownhillGuru Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 To all Greonkloof regulars. Say hi to "Monty" the new resident training partner. He will be particularly helpful with your sprint training
mark ellis Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 wonderful....lucky I like stroking snakes.....with the sharp end of a spade!
b-unit Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 A prize for the first hubber that posts a cellphone pic of this guy @ Groenies?
MaxUmis Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Eish, my seat won't ever smell the same if I had to come across this bad boy... Let's just hope he never confuses a little human kid for a mid morning snack.
Tumbleweed Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 wonderful....lucky I like stroking snakes.....with the sharp end of a spade! But do you carry one in your CamelBak?
umusneva Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm not going to show or tell my girlfriend about this, she'll never join me at Groenkloof again!
GF29er Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 ummm, bigest thing I hate about being in Africa, SNAKES wish I hadn't read this post will try to forget, otherwise my annual ticket will become a very expensive piece of laminated plastic with no use at all...........
messenger Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Mrs Lady-girl in the picture there must have helped catch it (trust me - you want a partner helping when they go over 1.5m) - but the point is all the guys are freaking out.....!!! IF (and only IF) you must - grab the blunt end and move backwards (quickly) - she will not be able to turn and bite. GOOD LUCK EDIT: This is where the partner comes in... to grab the sharp end and the reason YOU grabbed the blunt end. ANOTHER warning: their poop stinks big time....

Cycling Addict Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hopefully one does'nt meet Monty going up Onion Hill - Might be faster than most
bikemonster Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 just make sure u dont get a flat... Snakebite?
Dibles Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 "Monty" already has some friends at Groenies. I can't find the original article but from what I recall it was published about 4 years ago: http://www.rekord.co.za/story.aspx?lan=Afr&sid=33743 Someone I know has seen them in the reserve during a hike...think it was Thug.
Dubber88 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 A prize for the first hubber that posts a cellphone pic of this guy @ Groenies? Good Idea!
Trackie Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Bngs a whole new meaning to the term "racking snake"
Cassie Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Might also keep the bike jackers out?? Aren't they scared of snakes?
