Attacked by a red-belly black snake!! Did lap around midday today and big red belly launched itself at me as I flew down the main hill from Wakehurst. The snake was sunning itself on the rock on the LHS of the fire trail just inside the big left loop before the sandstone slab. I was moving quick so the snake missed me. I stopped and walked back and it was about 1.2m - 1.5m long and fat, and pretty agitated. I stopped another rider before he got the same as me from the snake. It soon moved off in to the bushes.
Watch out kids, it's that time of year!!
