Yes its a adder . Very common in sweden to .
They are now protected species
so you aren't allowed to kill them if you have one on your property. I remember when I was a kid—if we had one in the yard, we’d just chop its head off with a shovel.
If people chopped their heads off every time they appeared, no wonder they are now a protected species!
It's a shame it doesn't work with rodents!
I know, have a house adder! Both problems solved in one go.
I tried to do a play on words with you being from Sweden. I guessed it might be an Adder but my “Abber” (Swedish pop group very famous in the uk) throw on things fell on very stoney ground
Must try harder next time
I got it and never thought it's a dd no a bb . But I love ABBAI tried to do a play on words with you being from Sweden. I guessed it might be an Adder but my “Abber” (Swedish pop group very famous in the uk) throw on things fell on very stoney ground

You mean adder? We call it here a viper.
Same, brings back a lot of memories. It was a good track by the way.
Only skied it can u bike it ?
Yeah, (ish).
Both are used here but adder is probably more common. Not particularly dangerous though;
Wiki "The last reported [UK] fatality occurred in 1975. While about 50–100 bites are reported annually, most result in mild symptoms . . "
Last ride with eMTB long time ago. Luckily got a day off today for a escape. Took a while to adjust to the MTB as I did lot of commuting on my trekking bike.
About 15-20 degrees C today, pretty unusual but feels very good! Mixed conditions according to my shoes, no clue how that look came out at the end of the ride.

God NO!
I thought you had more taste than that ..but I guess we all love different things ..
Personally my " dislike " extends to switching channels as soon as possible whenever I hear that plinky plonky trash
I like a wide variety of music country & western and Abba apart
The risk of serious injuries is much higher for children than adults.
Not a big country fan ok in small doses. Got a couple tickets for April, don't laugh. Live in Aviemore Scottish Pink FloydGod NO!

And England is 1/2 the size of AZ and would probably fit inside of the Grand Canyon with room left over!99%ish of everything in England is North of London ..but thankfully most folk add a lot more detail as to where they have been riding

Today’s ride at the Cave Creek Regional Park. Perfect weather, mid 70’s. 16.5 miles, 2,100 ft vertical and only used 37% of the battery.
Finally got out to South Mountain today. Considering renting an apartment close enough to ride SoMo from it; so I’m checking everything out. Never rode so close to a golf course before. Looked like a really nice course.

Nice! I’m hoping to hit South Mountain before the valley turns into a furnace.
..there we go ..I knew you were a man of taste !Live in Aviemore Scottish Pink Floyd
Having said that god forbid they play everything with bagpipes !!
I didnt know Scottish Pink Floyd were a thing ..
Having seen Pink Floyd at Earls Court on the Division Bell tour ..and a few years later The Australian Pink Floyd playing The Wall in its entirety at (what was then) The Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle ..I profess to being disappointed in the latter .
However some kind of Floyd is better than none !
Hope you enjoy the gig ..
Sorry for the late reply ( your post was a little way back ) ...
Couldnt really let this pass as Ive had nothing but Maxxis Assegai up front on my 2021 Whyte E160rs ..and having done well over 6000 miles in all sorts of conditions wouldnt swap it for any other tyre up front ..I also pair this with a Minion DHF at the rear ( yes F not R ) and find this combination works really well year round ..Ive had a few sketchy moments and more than a few "offs" ..but thats down to rider error / lack of skill rather than tyre choice which have probably saved me more times than not
Well, I stumbled as well over it but hey, just see it as kind of trademark.Wow..thanks for confirming and adding further detail..
Your pics are "interesting " if you are a fan of desert scenery ..but starting every post with " Just South Of The Grand Canyon "...thats become more than a little bit boring ( to me anyway)

If I were you, I'd rather keep the rodents around the house than a big snake.

Haha sry mate i didt get that joke. I thougt you missspelled it
. I was actually googleing abber to see what you mean LOL.I definitely shouldn't have let that pun Slip Through My Fingers. I'll be more alert next time so we don't have to say S.O.S. to the comedy department.
We don't get much up here so glad of anything I had never heard of the either. Speaking of bagpipes, Red hot chilli pipers were at Speyfest last year not my cup of tea my plan was a couple of numbers but managed whole lot. They do a mean Thunderstruck LOL..there we go ..I knew you were a man of taste !

What kind of terrain do you ride though?Sorry for the late reply ( your post was a little way back ) ...

My kado's got an assegai maxxgrip exo+ up front and minion dhr2 double down maxxterra on the rear, the rears been fine tbf, 20psi front 22psi rear
Most of my trail riding is technical, off-piste, shaded woodland riding, with steep chutes, bad drainage, off camber roots etc, I know my local trails well I've rode them for over a decade and the one thing I've found with the assegai is once it picks up soft loamy mud it's packed in the tyre until you pick up enough speed to shed it, which I've found means it tends to just vaguely float over soft stuff instead of digging in and gripping. Never had an issue with the Magic Mary on the same trails and conditions, always stayed clean and shedded mud easily regardless of speed. Trails I rode in January on my analogue bike with a magic mary and big betty up front were fine, rode the same trails on the eeb in feb and march with the maxxis tyres and where I've previously had confidence in grip now I find myself unweighting the front wheel and being bashed around from where it loses grips then finds it then loses grip then finds it etc
I will say though, on faster trails when it's mostly dry or sticky they've been fine, but my ballon knot defos pinches and squeaks now riding over moist roots or through thick mud with the assegai and I never did that with the magic mary!
