West Coast Cycle Trail

West Coast Cycle Trail 

On Tuesday 22nd of September, room 8 went to Milltown for a bike ride. We did this because it is a part of the William Pike challenge. We were going from Milltown to Kapitea reservoir on the Wilderness Trail. On the way there I went in the van with a few other people, and I sat with Wairini, Summer and Billie.

When we got there we unloaded all the bikes and gathered together. We started biking. Most of the time I was biking with Wairini. The first stop was when we got to cowboys paradise. At cowboys there was a guy that threatened some boys for skidding even though they were told not to. At each stop I would have something to drink and maybe a snack. 

We stopped again just before the swing bridge and after the swing bridge. Going over the swing bridge was fun, because it felt cool and I liked looking down at the water. We kept biking until we got to the cars which was where we had lunch. For lunch I sat in the horse float with Billie H, Wairini and a few others.  

After lunch it was fun because there was a lot of down hill. It was also boring because there was also a lot of flat. When we had finished the second stage people started to pull out. The last stage people weren’t going as fast and I heard a few saying are we there yet. When we did finish it felt so good to get off my bike. We waited for the last people to finish and then the bikes got loaded up and we drove back to school.
