Okay for Father's Day, Carrie and Grant bought me a new amazing mountain bike. Very Smooth ride and it has back brakes too. The old one didn't after I took them off. Went to the Bear Lake Cabin this weekend to work on the tile floor. Saturday afternoon, while the thin set dried, I went on my first ride with the new bike. Started in Laketown and rode the east side of the lake. Went about 11 miles and heard a high pitch buzzing noise. Turned around and looked along the road and saw a snake, and yep only one kind makes that kind of noise. By the time I had stopped I was 20 feet away and it was coiled up. With a couple well placed rocks I had injured it and itg was heading for cover. A few more close throws and it was headed to the next life. There is no good reasons to keep a rattler alive. Rode the bike another little while and turned around and headed back to Laketown. Funny thing is about the place I had killed the snake, now there was a 15-16 year old sitting in the sagebush along the road talking on her phone. She couldn't have been 300 feet from the dead rattler :/
Today's Miles - 23.4 Miles
Total Miles - 117.6 Miles
