Today 1B went on the half day bike ride to Marlo. The ride was 18-20km both ways and the terrain was relatively easy. We had some monster hills though. We also had the pleasant experience, carrying our mountain bikes up multiple flights of stairs. This really hurt. It was worth it when we reached our destination the beach near Marlo jetty. The beach was beautiful the water was amazing not too cold, but cold enough to refresh you after a long ride. We all swam out to a buoy which was 100m or so into the water. The ride back was just frustrating as my chain wouldn’t stop falling off. When going up the biggest hill on the ride it happened. All I heard was “snap” and the chain teeth were ripped. After this it was a mammoth effort to get back but I made it with the support of 1B.
