Rail trail
Rail Trail Ride
On Friday I went with my class on the Little River to Motukarara rail trail cycling track. We started at ten past nine where we began to load the bikes up into the Kempthorne’s truck and then we got into our assigned cars to drive to Little River.
When we get to Little River and finished unloading the bikes we waited around for awhile parents dropped off cars. The teachers gave us a talk about the plan and how we were going in groups with a parent. The teachers also told us about not touching the polluted water.
When we started I was in the second to front group with Elan, Regan and Tate. The first half of the bike ride I found lots of fun. When we first started biking I was wearing my sweatshirt after a while I got very hot so I had to stop to take it off which made the others get a big lead over me. I caught up after a while though. Every now and then we would come across little bridges and paddocks with sheep in them. The end of the first half of biking was when we stopped next to this big rock that everyone climbed up for lunch.
When I finished lunch I started the second half of the bike ride near Regan and he gave me a fruit burst. I definitely found that I was tired towards the end of the second half but I was having fun.
When I had finished the track and had put my bike away I walked to the gate at the end with Regan and sat on a post while I watched everyone else come in through the finish. At the end they also had a little railway with a kart on it showing what the railway used to look like. I also looked at the information board about the history of the track.
