Finally Turning 16 Today!!!!

      Hello everyone, it's my Birthday today! I'm finally turning 16; w000000t!  I got some sweet presents, like a $50 gift certificate from my Aunt and Uncle to my local bike shop located in south bridge, so I'm psyched! Maybe I'll get some new pedals or gloves... Whatever I get I'll shoot some pix and post them soon.
      I'm also planning on taking the test at the Southbridge Motor Vehicle Registry soon to get my permit; I studied the permit handbook all summer long, but didn't have the time, money, or fortitude to take driver's ed...
      I feel bad, but I really don't have enough time right now explain what happened the other day when I was biking up at our housing development, other than someone called the cops on me.  I shot some good footage and took some decent pix, so stay posted for them.

Ride hard.

Mountain Bike Club Friday, October 24th, 2008

      We usually mountain bike every Friday in the Fall and Spring on very elaborate and long trails behind our junior high, but yesterday I told our mountain bike leader, Mr. P, about trails I recently found out about behind our high school.  He was somewhat tired of the same trails every week, like most of us, so we decided to do some exploring.
      For hours we biked around the many trails behind the high school that no one really knew too much about, and we had a great time.  
      It all really started because I'm taking this AP Environmental Science class, and we do a lot of field work.  A couple times we went out into the woods behind the high school to measure the dissolved oxygen content, temperature, PH, and otherof aspects of a nearby stream, and we had to get there using a variety of trails.
      So by the end of that Friday, I had biked where I had walked just that morning!
Hopefully we will develop and use these new trails often, and the possibilites are truly endless...
 
Ride hard.
