RIDE ON!

Thank you so much for your article On the Great East Trail Ride (AG 144), which was really funny, exciting and may even save my life. I was just remembering my own riding tours here in the Eifel [a low mountain range in western Germany] when the author told me about the small details that make Australia so very different from my own home country: dangerous snakes. I will come to Australia quite soon, maybe even to Victoria. I will remember this article before I get too casual and careless. SWANTJE BAUMGART, SEESTRASSE, BLANKENHEIM, GERMANY
