PETA will be calling about snake abuse. IMBA will be calling about trail destruction. And I will be in the bathroom evac-ing my intestine from the fear of just seeing VIDEO of Mr. R. Snake. Yike! I hate me some snakes.

Years ago a friend and I rode up at Matthew Winters for the first time. They have Rattlesnake Warnings posted all over the place and so we were a little freaked out. We were in that meadowishy section as you get closer to Red Rocks when all of a sudden he goes flying by me, screaming his ass off.
“SSSSSsssssnnnnnaaaaakkkkkeeee!”
He stopped about 100 yards after he passed me. Turns out he had a pinch flat. He thought that the snake was chasing him at 20+ mph. We laughed so hard for the rest of the day that we had a hard time making it back to the parking lot.

Strictly speaking a rattlesnake “Klapperschlange” is female in German, hence it would be “Die Klapperschlange”.

Calling it Das Rattlesnake was a joke.
but thanks for the info. That could be my new favorite word now.

we get usually a few rattlers on the trails out here pretty often. that trail was pretty wide u guys could have made it by no problem. way worse when you are stuck on a tight singletrack!

When I was riding my bike as a kid, I had a snake drop out of a tree and land around my neck. Freaked me out bigtime! The housekeeper came out and chopped its head off with a hoe. Memories…
