Day 168

Stats: Biked 2 hours, 5 minutes (20.24 miles)

Started out at the Burg RR Depot and rode past the Continental Divide. When we started out, I felt as if I were breathing water. So humid. The further north we went, the cooler & less muggy it seemed.

Today, we saw 5 rattlesnakes & 1 unknown. There was a small group checking them out when we arrived. Lots of discussion as to the unknown reptile. Someone thought it was a copperhead. But, apparently an old wive's tale claims copperheads & rattlers will not dwell together. Must do some research to see what kind of snake the little guy was.

All in all, it was a great ride. Though that extra 6 miles put a hurtin' on my backside.
