Happy thread
Postby tuco » Fri Feb 09, 2007 9:59 am
We have sunshine today
First time for 12 days. Not a cloud in the sky and dead calm.
It's gonna be a great cycling weekend. I've even had my hair cut so I'll be more streamlined.

The smoke seems to have cleared from the bushfires and the air is clearer.
My bike is screaming "ride me!"
What a happy thread

In the last year I've seen 6 snakes, 5 alive and last week 1 drowned.
The happy part is I haven't ridden over one yet, been close though. I always worry about them getting pissed off and thrown into the pedals and my legs.

The kookaburras catch them, then fly up to a great height and drop them on something hard, usually the road.
I had some UK cycle tourists going with this tale and they are worried about snakes falling from the sky now.

So you're admitting that your head resembles a rockbicyclewa wrote:This is the happy thread, but while we are talking about snakes, I actually saw one fall out of the sky about 20 metres in front of me once.
