well for the past two weeks on doctors orders i could not ride my biek od do any physical activity. i though that after the first week i was ok though. but the teachers would not let me do it yet. i did ride my bike at home a little bit though. and it felt realy good because didnt ride it all week so i realy wanted to. and on wednesday of this week i got my wheel assembly back. i was throughly thrilled until i saw that after i pumped up the tire and changed everything. i saw that there was a thorn in my tire. so i decided to pull it out and shure enough, it started leaking air. so when i get the chance this weekend i will patch it and ride to grants pass for the day on saturday. but all in all i have been doing my work. i have done the required test on the chapters. sence i was in her for four days for biking class then i have four test with ten questions for each test. if that is not enough then please tell me.

last week on wednesday we went on mine and devons ride. but we had to cut it short for that it was raining and kinda windy. the ride was to go to the end of saurs flats and then turn around on the highway. then on thursday we rode to the limestones. it was kinda muddy but it was fun. then about 10' up i got a flat so i pushed the bike up the hill. on monday all we did was go down to the forks. i i got my derailur fixed and i dont think that im going to ride it this week so that i can have it in good condition for a ride to grants pass. i think that its going to be fun. i did a through cleaning of my bike. i took everything off of it and cleaned it so now it is in olmost perfect condition.

on wednesday we were supposed to go to bens ride but it was hailing too hard and everyone had to head on back. and then on thursday we when and did the ride that we were supposed to. then friday was our matience day. i worked on my bike all the time and now it is in great condition. he brakes are sharp, it shifts awesome and everything is in grea working order. monday the ride was up the limestoons because peoples bikes wernt working and they were tired from the race on sunday. i would of gone but i didnt have a ride out there so i didnt get to. and i didnt get to bring my biek here so i only had my diamond back but it had some glazing on the pads and the brakes didnt work. so i jogged up the hiil out to the saddle.

welll two weeks ago when everyone else whent out to tennesse ridge i whent out to fluffy bunny with nick and dusty. we got done kinda earlie and we didnt know it so we left earlie and came back. and wednesday we did billys ride that we did realy do cuz they had to rest and he wasnt supposed to ride. firday we didnt have school. . yester on monday we whent out to rockydale and down a dirt road. forest had acoutple things go wrong with is bike so we stopped a couple times and we got to school a little late. i guess thats all that i did this two weeks.

well over spring break i didnt get to ride my bike because my fromt hub was still messed up until about saturday. so i got to ride it sunday for about 30 mins. not too fun but its better than nothing. also my db was here so i couldnt ride it at all and plus its fors ride horribly. i need to find a new fork that isnt ruined. i dont care it its made to jump or not it jsut needs to have travel. yesterday we wen out to kerby and then to tenesee ridge. i didnt too too well for i was the last one to leave and the face that i have a case or pnemonia. but this time i got some antiobotics. im on a zpack of anti and promethazine and codine mixed together to help suppress my cough. but i love to ride and i still hade fun and i know that it was a part of the class that i should ride unless im dieing and i think that i have fufuilled that part of the contract. right now i am riding on a loaner hub that has been used a little bit so it dosent work too well and it has a wobble so the people at bike kraft told me to take it asey on that wheel set and that they will talk to the trek people to see if they can get my hub and assembly for free because it was till under warranty and they think that i messed with it because when i took it back in for the third time it was unlocked at the cone so if i tried to ride it it would tighten up. and i said that i didnt touch it and that i didnt even have the toold to unlock it. i jsut think that something is all bent so that whenever i ride it loosens up and gets wobbly. if you could talk to the people there McHugh that would be awesome. all in all im stil loveing this class and i try fairly hard to acheve in it.

on wednesday of last week we rode to stup hill as a student ride. it was james and jeffs ride. it was actually realy fun even tho a lot of peoples chains got messed up. chris and seans chains got all messed and ai towed chris most of the way back to help him out. on friday we went to the saddle of the limestones and olmost everyone made it up. usually when we ride me and billy are about the same speed so i keep up with him. and its also nice to talk to someone that is the same speed as you. then over the weekend i rode my mullet for about 3 miles and i had to stop because my front brakes were rubbing and it wasnt shifting right. but it happens and it was due for a checkup anyways. right now it is in the shop and hopefully it will be all better soon.

well im going to start on the snow days that we had. i realy wanted to ride my mullet but it was left at school the last day before the snow days and i wanted to get it but the school was all locked up and i couldnt get it. i did have my old bd response but it has rim brakes and it didnt work too well in the snow. all i did during my snow days was sit at home and hunt a little bit. last fri when we rode late for lunch backwards. it was realy fun and im glad that we didnt go on the powerlines because it had like four inches of mud on it. i rode it the day beofre and it was terrible and i could barely move. yesterday (monday 3-5) we did three laps around the big triangle in 2-1. i was a little late because i was helping ben kendall with his broken chain that he broke on our friday ride in the mud. after we did all that we all had a flat tire by magic and we had to take off our tire, flatten it, remove the tube, show you and then put it back in. after that we had to fill it back up and but out tire back on. i had a realy hard time because i couldnt get my tire off with my hands and i had to get your tools to do it. then once i got it back on my front brakes were loced up and i was very mad because it was very hardt o ride up to the saddle. after i got up to the saddle i came back down and tried to fix my brakes and i did but my front hub is ruined and the berrings and shot. and also i have a click in my bottom bracket. this is all makeing me mad because it is a new bike only 1.5 months old and it shouldnt of done this. i am takeing this back the the shop on friday after school and im makeing them give me a new front hub and lube my bottom bracket. and hopefullt its all better. if it brakes again soon im makeing them give me my money back or at least most of it and im going to get a different bike. so when we ride on wednesday im probly going to have to ride a loaner bike. also today i read to page 57 on "its not about the bike" and it was talking about lance when he was young and winning a lot of his races but he was stupid and inexoperienced.
