Mar. 10, 2008 - bike ride
I finally got to go on a REAL bike ride! The last one I went on was basically following two people without bikes around a park and barely hitting any trail at all!
There is a trail I love about 30 minutes from our house. Its really simple, the way home is all fast and awesome, there always seems to be a mud puddle somewhere along the way, and its just plain awesome! I got to go on it today with friends and my little sister. the ride was awesome for about an hour then my sister, Sarah, started feeling not so good, a little dizzy and such. But, seeing as she is almost as stubborn as my dad and me, it took a while to convince her that we were heading back to the starting point. Mr. Neil, Aruora (sp?), Christopher, Sarah and I headed back with Chris and I basically racing to the end and Mr. Neil sticking with Sarah and Aruora. I was hitting every single mud puddle I saw, loving the splattering sound, and everything. We met Chris' brother Jonathan and his friend on the way back. At one point, I looked down for a split second and looked back up just in time to see a fallen tree in the way! I slammed on the front brake to slow down and tried to turn but just slid right under the tree limbs (the crown was facing me; I'm glad it wasn't a trunk!!!). I was laughing so hard, it took me a while to stand but up but when I did, there wasn't a scratch on me!!! I was completely amazed! Aruora was right behind me and saw the whole thing. Jonathan and his friend came around and were all like "What happened? You OK?" I was still laughing my head off!
What I think wast the best part of the ride was when I missed the turn I was supposed to take, and decided that I would just continue on with Aruora and Sarah close behind just in case. There were ruts in front full of mud that didn't look all that deep. I rode through it but my front tire got stuck, stopped, and I went sideways. I didn't get all that muddy but when I stood up and started walking, I lost my footing slid down and got covered in mud! My entire left leg was covered thick in mud! Again, I was laughing incredibly hard!  The three of us caught up with Jonathan, Chris, Mr. Neil and the guy-I can't remember the name of. They were laughing hard when they saw me! The really funny part was when this car pulls up to our group and there is a lady and her around-16-year-old son in the car. The driver says "My son says the girl in mud looks hot!!!" I was right in between shocked, embarressed and trying to figure out what to say. I wasn't sure if thats the kind of thing you say thank you too! Everyone else was busting up laughing, especially Jonathan. They drove off and it was a little weird! I told my mom and she has been teasing me ever since I got home!!! hehe! what do you say to that though? No one has ever told me that before and it was just weird! The guy riding shotgun kept sinking down in his seat going redder and redder! I had no idea what to say to that! Made me a bit nervous too! not quite sure why but it did!
We found out what was wrong with my shoulder...finally! there is a canal in the shoulder that the tendons go through; mine is just a bit too small. I have to go through physical therapy for now. The doctor doesn't want me to have a surgery until its apsolutely necassary...FINE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!! i already have to have all my wisdom teeth pulled this Thuresday. If I don't have to go under the knife, then I'm not doing anything!!!!!!!
see ya'll!
