Woohoo! I finally learnt to cycle! After many failed attempts which left many people extremely irritated because I learnt too slowly. After school ended super early today, Rachel, Janine and I went to ECP. Janine went to mug at
New Zealand Natural. Rachel and I rented a tander bike and off we went. It was only when we reached the other end where there's nobody that I dared to try sitting in front. It was hilarous when i crashed both of us into the trees and the lamppole and went wayward into the grass patches lining the pathway. Alas, thanks to Rachel's patience, I gave it another shot and the next thing I knew, I was cycling! Past many many trees and landmarks. Everything was so smooth until i went down the slope and we crashed again. ): There was this causasian lady riding in the opposite direction and we were going to crash and I went "Oh no oh no" because I realised I can't turn the bike. She was so startled but managed to swerve out of the way in time. (: But this other guy didn't realise I was a newbie and I had to swerve, resulting in me crashing the bike into the tree again. Thanks loads Rachel! Basically we left the park with battle scars, happily slurping ice cream cones. (:
The cycling trip was fun but it left me with burnt skin and I was half dead for training. The cross country after that just zapped all the energy out of me.
Yay tomorrow is Friday! (:
