and wednesday we went out to fluff bunny all the way to stinky refridgerator and some people tried to climb it but not too many people made it to the top of the hill climb. i made it up with the top id have to say six people and it was a good ride that wasnt too hard but it was kinda cold and boreing. i have walking pnenomia so it didnt help me at all. i rode it alkl the way up. when i was comeine back down i had to go inbetween two ruts on a little ridge and i hit a brance and it left a good little welt on my right arm but it wasnt too bad. at least i didnt crash. on friday we went out to the limestones and i was still sick. i made it as far as mr. mchugh made it. james and jeff started back down and mchugh made them climb a little more with us. i did good comeing back down the hill. my brakes we squeaking pretty bad and they wernt working too well. but over the weekend i scraped the pads with steel wool and cleaned the disc with rubbing alcohol and now my brakes work very well but they still squeak. im happy now because they are very sharp and work well enough to do any downhilling i will need to do for a while.

yesterday our warm up was takeing the large triangle about two times and then wait for the rest to come back. we went to the limestones and tried to make it up to the saddle. mokst of us made it and i was about the 7 person up. comeing back down was realy fun. i olmost crashed by getting my rear end sucked into a rut at about 20 mph and i slid for about 5 feet but i eased my brakes until i was about 10 mph and pulled my rear end out of the rut. then we went bac konto the road and came back home. i think two people crashed. one was forest and the way that people made it sound it was good. and someone was doing a wheelie and got there brakes locked up and flipped backwards. i think it was shane. but im not shure. after all of the fun we went back to the school and washed off our bikes. i iddnt break anything on my bike. we were all pretty muddy and wet and cold but it was fun and i enjoyed it.

on friday we went up to tennesse ridge and it was very icy. i didnt wreck but most did. i made it to the top on my saddle and i didnt walk it any of the way. i did have to stop for a second except when i spun out for about one turn and have to use my feet to get started again. some ogals that i have would be to be able to fix a tire as fast as shaun gearheart.
