We finally are getting some very decent riding weather up here in Michigan and I was out yesterday for a good ride, temp was showing 82 degrees, and while I was riding I saw what looked like a large crack in the road and as I got closer I realized it wasn't a crack but about a 7 foot long Blue Racer, I was by myself and nothing coming at me so I wheeled into the other lane just missing the snakes head by inches. Its been a while since I have seen one that long. Just a little excitement for the ride.
