Trail ride

On Sunday it was the Apiti School trail ride. The trail ride is a fundraiser for Apiti School. This year we had 405 riders come.  It is over Apiti farmland. 

When we got up, we got our stuff on and rushed down. Mum went in the car and Huntah and I rode our motorbikes down. We were one of the first people there. There was a frost so my toes felt like they were falling off. 

Ten minutes later bikes came pounding through the gates. I couldn't believe it. Briefing was at 9:45 but because there were so many people they changed it to 10:00. 

First I went around with Tony and Wade but later on I went around by myself. It was petty easy to go around the track. I only crashed once and that was on the adults' track. The adults' track was a bit harder then the intermediate track. The intermediate was muddy, slippery, fast and the best bit ... getting stuck in the metre deep water and filling your boots up with water. The adults track was wet, hard and muddy with big hill climbs, deep rivers and ... the best ... going really fast and just about breaking your arm.That's why I love going to trail rides. 

It's scary when a whole lot of motorbikes come next to you when you are right on the edge of a hill. 

The gates closed at 3:00 but I had a really good day going around the track and next year,  I hope I can get a better motorbike.
