Bike Ride For The William Pike Challenge 

Wednesday the 26th of May 2021. Room 8 and I went on two bike rides for a William Pike challenge, we all arrived at school at 8.30am and pack our bikes and bags into the car I was in Indi and Tims car with Hannah, Emma, and me. Our first bike ride was the Mananyi track and the second one was Hurunui Jacks. These were both wilderness trail tracks. I liked the Hurunui track more because it was easier for me.

Before we started biking we all unpacked our packs and our bikes, and in our groups we grabbed our compass and hopped on our bikes. At first most of the girls were in the front of the biking pack and on the way back most of the boys were at the front of the biking pack. It was cold and frosty at the start. I biked with Ms Kemp, Emma, Ilish, and Mylah for the Mananyi track. 

About 10 minutes later we were back on the road on our bikes to go back from where we started biking from. The sign told as it would take as about 2 hour one way on the Mananyi track but it only took as about 40 minutes, on the way back I biked with Ms Kemp, Emma, Mylah and Ilish. my goal was to bike both of the ways, 40 minutes later we had all finish ed biking the first track I was so happy because I was so tired we all hopped in our car and went to the Hurunui Jacks track. 

We arrived at Hurunui Jacks track and we ate our food till all the other car groups came, and we were off on our bikes again. I liked the Hurunui Jacks track more because there were more down hills than the Mananui track, we set of on the Hurunui Jacks bike ride, I biked with Ilish and Mylah till I slowed down and started to bike with Ms Kemp again, we had to bike up a big hill, this Hurunui Jacks took this about 40 minutes to bike my goal this to bike all the Hurunui Jacks and the Manganui track. 

 When we stopped Emma, Shannon, Mylah, and Ilish all went into Ms Kemp’s car and rode back to the start of the Hurunui Jacks. There were lots of green tree and a main road. I was so tired I ask Ms Kemp if I could go back into her car to ride back with  Emma, Shannon, Mylah, and Ilish but there were only four seats for kids so I could not ride back so I had to bike back. We stopped at the fords and I had a go. It was very fun! I was the only girl to have a go on the first ford. We continued to bike till we got to the 2nd ford. I had a go at trying the ford out.  I liked the 2nd ford more. We biked till the end.  I biked 26kms in one day!
