First red diamondback of the day! He was at about 4.5 miles from the marina (about 17.5 miles into our ride)
Doug, Tracy, Linda, Ingy and Noni watch the red diamondback as he makes his way off the road. What a handsome snake!
Our intrepid photographer got close enough to Mr. Red Diamondback to annoy him into posing as one of his close relatives - here he is in the classic sidewinder pose
Ingy and Linda get a good look at our second red diamondback of the day. He is a little smaller than his friend we found about a half mile or so earlier in the ride.
This boy was heading across the road surprised to find he had an audience of six curious cyclists!

Having thought better of it, El Duo decides to go back the other way; darn those nosy cyclists!
Ingy, Doug, Linda, Noni & Eric pose for one last photo to commemorate their courageous, snake-defying (and appreciating) ride around Diamond Valley Lake!
Eric & Noni's kitty, Tulgey, knows exactly how they felt after their arduous bike ride (well, it was arduous for Eric since he ran a hard 50 mile race in the mountains the day before and it was arduous for Noni since she hadn't been on a bike in a year!
