The jitters...

Out riding with Dano for the first time for ages, what a lovely way to spend a sunday morning. Late in the ride I finally managed to stick his wheel for a bit, ducked off onto some singletrack and ran into one of these. At first I thought it was just a stick flicking up off Dan's wheel, until I saw the head all poised to strike. A bloody Tiger snake, scared the bejesus out of me. I was none too keen to head back onto the singletrack as I was starting to jump at shadows, let alone sticks across the trail. A bloke out walking his dog had the leash draped around his neck, thought that leash was a snake too. The jitters had struck, time to head to a cafe for brekkie.
