On the 22nd of September room 8 went on the wilderness cycle trail for the William Pike challenge. We were sorted into car groups at school then we drove to Milltown where the bike ride started. There are different sections of the bike ride, some are hard, some are easy. The start of the trail was pretty hard because it had quite a bit of up hill and I'm not an experienced bike rider either.
On the ride I didn't have many stops because I was behind a bit. The people in the front would stop and I would still be biking then when I finally caught up with them they would go again so I was quite exhausted! The one stop we did make though was at Cowboy’s Paradise. This was kinda scary because a scary man came out and threatened people in my class that he would kick them up ‘bleep’ because they were skidding on the gravel. It was even more scary because he owned a shooting range and was busted for owning a massive weed farm sooo...
After that we stopped at a place I forget the name of and had lunch. There were cars there if you didn't want to do the other part of the ride. I didn't, so I sat in the shelter thing for a bit. When one of the adults asked me if I had told Ms Kemp that I had pulled out I said that I had forgotten to so they made me get on my bike to catch up with everyone. But they were just so far away so I got picked up once again with a couple of other people
Anyway I tried my hardest, even though it was a challenge for me. I did think it was fun zooming down the hills but I wouldn't do it again for fun though!
