2 rides in 2 states in 2 weeks and I see

That dreaded “ahh shit I got a flat” noise. I stopped to assess the situation and to hear the noise in the distance, I knew it wasnt a flat but a rattle snake. I looked around for the snake and saw it hiding by that cactus. Pic was taken after passing the snake on my left about 25’ away. I said fk it, I’m done riding for the day and went wayyy around off trail and headed back to trailhead. I have a big ophidiophobia. Years and years of riding and never seen snakes while on the trail, saw 2 the last couple weeks fk that shit 🤦🏾‍♂️ .
