That's about what I do too.  On a good day, maybe 12.  Depends on the surface, where, which  bike and temp.

monkey dodo ton of rattlers in Bear Trap canyon on the Madison. Have hiked through, but would love to float it. Won’t be me on the sticks.

That’s exactly where I was at, in the bear trap.   I haven’t been there in a decade but don’t remember current being too bad.   Man wish I was there now, minus the snakes of course.   Snakes freak me out!

The only place I've seen a rattlesnake in the wild was the same area a few years ago - on the katy south of 40/61. We rode our bikes our to Defiance and had to hightail it back before it got dark. We saw a copperhead and a rattlesnake on the katy between between the Weldon Access and the hwy 40 bridge. I stopped and we got close to the rattlesnake. Told my 7 or 8 year old daughter at the time how lucky she was to see one so young.

There's a healthy population behind Six Flags. Know of quite a few folks who have jumped over them while trail running. That'll put a little more pep in your step!

That’s where this one was.  Just south of the bridge.  I’ve seen hundreds of non poisonous snakes.  Ran over a ground hog too.

A land yacht😄  Townie Electra 7D that I added nylon inner tube liners too.  Weighs a little over 35 pounds....  My family had a schwinn shop for years and as I've gotten older I don't like to be hunched over while riding.

Janet rides something similar.  I have a Jamis Coda Elite that I like a lot.  And a Felt 29'er that I changed the suspension fork to a steel Surly fork.  They're both good bikes.  The Felt is much better off pavement, and the Coda is much better on pavement.  Looked for a pic of the Coda but could not find one handy.  But this is the Felt in it's current configuration.
