We biked from our house to downtown Durham along the American Tobacco Trail on Saturday. It took about two hours round trip. We got a great workout, took in some beautiful scenery, and snapped some pictures along the way. There were stretches where we couldn’t even tell we were in the city as the tree-lined surroundings were so quiet. We came across a bunch of fellow cyclists, some with cute kids in tow, a woolly caterpillar, and a baby copperhead that was just coiled up in the middle of the trail. While we were taking pictures of the copperhead, another cyclists came by and ran right over it. Doh! I know it’s unavoidable sometimes, considering how these little critters just lounge on the busy trail, but it still sucked to see one of them get run over. Well, at least the snake is forever immortalized by our pictures.
