While I was at home I got to visit with the family and go on a ride with Schuyler (Suzuki RM-Z 250). It was pretty sweet since we are fairly close in riding speed. I am a little faster on the tight roads and trails and he is a little faster in the open washes and through the rocky canyons. We saw a few rattle snakes while we were out there, unfortunately I didn't see the first one soon enough and ran him over (right after Schuyler did), but I looked back and he seemed to be upset but moving fine. He was right over the top of a rise, so he probably had very little weight, if any, put on him (I think I was airborne when I went over him). Schuyler saw two more near the end of the ride, but they either got off the trail, or I just didn't see them. I am glad that my boots are mostly plastic and thick leather. We didn't have any crashes, thank goodness, but Schuyler did have a close encounter with a tree were it tried to joust him in the foot-he was ok.
I hate to blog without pictures, so here are some horses, aren't they cute?

Where'd you go riding at?
Saddle Rock. Had rained earlier in the day so the dust was low. We did the Bullard Peak loop.
I'm not sure men are allowed to use the word "cute" to discribe anything.
