Always practice the buddy system, you never know what’s going to be around the next turn:

Bikers/Runners:

In Texas, it’s snake season.

In the spring and fall is the time we see them the most.  The cooler mornings have them out sunning on the trail and road.

Last week I saw a dead rattler on a road ride.

Coral Snake seen on the Greenbelt in Austin.

Friday 2 inch venomous snake tooth taken out of mountain bike tire at Isle De Bois.

4 foot Copper Head seen yesterday at Northshore near Dallas.

Be aware.

I prefer never to get close enough to a snake to be able to tell: is that a triangular head or a rectangular head?  Assume it’s poisonous.

That being said, no one knew I was at Northshore.  I almost always practice the ‘buddy system’.  I was running, so I thought, “ah, no big deal”.  Except, when I saw that copper head; I realized what a complete idiot I was for not telling anyone where I was going and that I would call them when I was done.

Always, always practice the buddy system, especially when you’re headed somewhere by yourself, alert a friend or loved one, where you are going, and about what time you will be calling them, to tell them you’re safe.
