Biking Reflection – Jared Schwartzentruber
Overall I fell like the bike trip went very smoothly, we didn’t have any major set backs, and every place we planned on staying the night, they were ready for us. A few memories, mainly on the first day (I think) was how we had a three person pile up while Lane was trying to get directions from Susan. Right after that, we had to travel down a tar road which we felt the aftermath of for at least a day after, having to clean off tar from our bike frames, tires, shoes, and more. While trying to fix Hamilton’s broken axle, Joel’s bent wheel, Evan’s bike, and Lane’s clips, the other groups were busy getting lost. From one wrong turn, they found themselves taking a five mile detour, which ended their longest day of biking. The rest of the trip seemed to fly by, with only a few mishaps, like a flat tire from Hamilton and Twila. We all got to know each other much better through the 14 or more hours on our bikes, on top of the days and nights spent resting our legs and butts.
