Another Near Miss With a Rattlesnake

News Link
Riding the trails again and came very close to being struck. This time the snake was on the trail but blended in with the colors.  I did not see it until it was about one foot from my front tire. I stood up and and threw the bike to the left. The rattler coiled up and sidewinded along with me for a moment rattling and hissing loudly but did not strike. It all happened so fast that I didn't have the usual adrenaline rush.
