Mountain Biking

Greetings from Wales!!!

Hello again everyone. I thought I would give an update on how the rest of my week has gone.

On Tuesday night I took a test online for my Ecology and Evolution test. It went very well!

On Wednesday, I did absolutely nothing. I have to admit it was very nice to just sit!

Today I had OP. We went mountain biking! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself! At the end of the day I did get pretty tired and my legs started to cramp up but it was a really good day!
The scenery was amazing! We rode through a forest but at the top if some of the peaks we could see amazing views! We were taught by our instructors for the day how to do wheelies and make our hop. That was really cool! I did pretty well! That was really fun. I am going to master those skills with my own bike this summer. haha We also learned how to stand on our bikes and keep our balance without having to put our feet on the ground when the bike was not moving. That was really fun to try too and we had races to see who could stay on the longest. It was a beautiful day of riding bikes in the forest. I was not able to use my camera a lot because I am a little out of shape it would have taken me a while to pull out my camera. I got a ton of pictures of today from Jenny who was at the front of the group. She was a pretty good biker!Our first view of one of Snowdonia's mountains.All of us in a group waiting to be told what to do. (Stephen, Dani, Adena, Kristen, Me, Melissa, and Meghan)Me and Meghan! close up of my face! I look excited!Up hill!One of the little trails we went down on the far right.Top of the trees!The trail we rode through in the forest!Everyone at lunch break. I am middle right taking off my gloves with my teeth! hahaMore of our trail!Pedaling up hill! Man that was hard stuff!Another gorgeous view!Me walking my bike uphill because my legs just got too tired!Another view of the trail!Great view!Up hill! but WOW!Another view at the end of our ride!It was a beautiful day out!View of the mountains from the mini bus on our way back to the Conway Center!

I am now very sore! The tall hills and bicycle seat are coming back with a revenge but it was worth it!

Well, that is all I really have to say for today. I will be updating again after this weekend! I have class tomorrow and then on Saturday we have a field trip for Tecwyn's class. We are going to a castle, a dog's grave site(kinda weird I know), and a couple other places! I am pumped about it!

Well I hope everyone has a great day! Talk to you all soon!
