Glad everyone survived, thanks for the report and pictures!
How did the Bighorn 2.0 tires work in this environment? I see one pic of someone having an issue.
I have stock tires on a 2020 700-4 and preparing for the next set. We ride central Ala.

I had no problems with my Bighorn 2.0’s. But as you can see in the pic’s we were challenged with some very slick/slimy conditions! I feel lucky to have left this morning with just one battle scar!!! Lol

I also did this ride with the 2.0 Bighorns. I had one get a smallish sidewall punture that Ohio4x4 had it fixed almost before I knew it needed it. This might be a strike against BHs, but most probably me. I also had a BH take a pretty good size chunk of wood in between the rim and tire bead. I did most of the Mayhem run using that tire up front and right. It took a HUGE beating and never farted out a bit of air. YAY Bighorn!

Still gonna get me some Tensor Regulators though!

Let's hear the snake bite story!
20140901 130526

We were digging ginseng and my dad found a rattlesnake under a rock. When my sons and I got to him to see the snake we realized there was more than 1. 3 rattlesnakes and 3 copperheads under the same rock. 1 of the small copperheads got me on the finger when we were trying to get the last rattlesnake out from under the rock. I still took these pics after I was bit because I'm a REAL MAN lol.. Thats my son holding them in the pic.

So I assume it injected the venom? Hurt? Loose the digit?

The bite didn't hurt but the throbbing that ensued hurt a lot. My armed swelled all the way up into my arm pit. I just have a small indention on my finger where the fangs went in. The said I probably would have lost my finger if I didn't get antivenom(52k). The whole bill was over 90k. I only paid $700 out of pocket. Health care is a rip off. I'm just glad it wasn't 1 of the rattlesnakes.

I hope you get to feeling better soon dan. After everyone new you were in good hands, the attention was turned to bayleaf. And yes she misses her dad! Thank you to everyone, for the help with the dumb***t that had the wrong tires on his buggy. What a great group of people! I assure everyone I will have new tires for the next mayhem on the mountain.
