crazy weekend #2

the next day we went to philidelphia because i was invited to watch the philadelphia circuit with ppl from right to play and team highroad

it was hotter than the day before... i feel so bad for the ppl who were actually racing they mustve been dieing (guys rode 156 and girls rode 57) 

it was so fun because i got to ride in the team high rode crew car for a lap (14-15 miles) the driver tristian told me while crewing the women on the side of the road come first then the riders ;) 

after two high road girls came in 1st and second the guys did pretty well too... we went out to the dinner with the team and they all found out about the ride and whatever

fun day in philidelphia

crazy weekend #1

on saturday me and my mom woke up at 545 to go ride at 6 15, not fun... we had to go to scranton PA for my cousins communion... we wanted to ride to the boarder and have pops meet us there. We go up through carmel to newburgh than west some more... I really liked crossing the newburgh beacon bridge cuz its such a nice view...

after newburgh was pretty much all out in the open (no shade) and in 96 degree heat (the morning was mugggy and cloudy but it opened up) and it was killer

we were passing through farm country and this dog runs out and chases mom and then jumps in front of me

he was chasing mom and the kids that ownded the dog were going get her get her

we saw a sign 15 miles to goshen and we decided we would just wait for dad in goshen due to threat of heat exaustion... all 15 miles were up hill or false flat (worst 15 miles of my life)

my dad picked us up and we got in the car and started to change and i hear my mom ask where r ur sneakers chris... omg i didnt pack any

we went to sneaker king and got me some sandals!!!!! WOOO WOOO (they were air jordans)

ridgefield and back

today we went to ridgefield for lunch, even though me and my mom were both sore from the hill 60 yesterday... 

it wsasnt that bad, better than the projected 30-40 miles we were supposed to do today. there was a hill going to ridgefield that wasnt  that steep but WENT ON FOREVER...

now yesterday we went to ridgefield and i saw at least 10 porshes and today i saw at least another 7, i was liek geez how many of these will i see....

on the way we saw the glacial eratic, the one that my science teacher made all of her earthe cience kids students take pictures in front of, (im not in E.S.) i was like ma, were stoppin on the way back so i can take a picture in front of it... 

it was a pretty nice ride even tho my legs feel so dead now

historic ride

today me and my mom went on a 60 mile ride back to 230 years in the past.... we rode with the westport historical society on the british march ride, where the british marched in the revolution.... it was pretty fun, hurt, but fun. The main pack who prolly didnt no any histry broke away and we just sat back and enjoyed the lesson...

i learned that many old towns are compeletly under the resovoirs, they flooded them togive nyc water supply...

i saw 4 turtles on a piece of plywood in the middle of the  resovoir, it was cool...

i had a wicked muscle spasm so i needed to drink more water, 

when we pased a church they had a flag garden, one flag for each us soldier lost in afghanistan and iraq, he is a picture 

hills galore

today me and my mom went to new paltz to ride with a friend from skating, and man the hills were HUGE

things i saw

weird ttree root sculptures

an amazing view at the top of the mountain

things i noticed

When we were going down this huge s curves hill, i would hold the breaks so i am going about 20 mph on the curves and let go on the straights, its like bottling up all the energy when u hit the brakes, then when u let go u release it all

my speedometer went from 20 mph to 33 mph in about 5 seconds

Sorry, here is more posts

Sorry everyone for not blogging,

i keep forgetting to

heres some cool things that ive experianced while riding the last few rides

me and my mom saw 2 herons in the same day

we saved a turtle who was walking in the middle of the path

we were riding up a huge hill and we were riding slow behind some horses, (and carrages) but we didnt want to startle the horse by passin, but the lady said we could so we sprint ahead and then the horse started sprinting, it was like a race

Today we did an easy ride because i have a track meet tommorow, so we went up the path, when we started my mom was liek oh i grabbed two right gloves, ill turn one inside out

about 4 miles later shes like wait i have a pair, they are just inside out

^

pretty dumb move

we were riding along and we saw a random flock (im not sure if thats what u would call it) of duck coming out onto the path, so i quacked at them

it was a good ride
