Today was the day we finally did the bike ride to Rattlesnake Bridge.
We started at Sam Leno Park off of Country Club and Ajo and get out about 9:30 a.m.
We're off!
Wonder why they call it Aviation Highway?
Looking at the Bike Map - Sam Leno Park is is West of Aviation Highway so I assumed it was a left when we got to it to go North. I failed to take into consideration that there was a u-turn somewhere in all of our turns and got 3 miles before I realized we were headed the wrong way and had to turn around.
We got on the right trail and first come across Basket Bridge
and then there it is! The Rattle! When you cross the bridge it actually makes a rattling sound
It's hard to get the full effect
Time to turn around and Gary braves going through the Snakes mouth first - what a guy!
Going back towards the Basket Bridge there is a homeless man pushing a cart. I said passing on left as I approached and got a long stream of profanities for my consideration.
Almost back can I throw you a line?
Although our 10 mile ride became a 16 mile ride we got an early enough start that it didn't get too miserably hot. Now home to grab a bite of lunch and a dip in the pool.
