Enviro Bike Print

 Today 2B had Enviro Bike. We got driven down to a dirt road and we went into an area where the logging used to happen. It was full of dead trees that had been burnt and the ground was all wrecked from the heavy machinery constantly driving over on it.  

 

 

We discussed our initial feelings of the place and we talked about the logging industry and what their effect is on the environment. After that we geared up with our vests and helmets and jumped onto our bikes. My bike’s name was ‘Binky’. Probably the greatest bike in the bunch too. We rode down the dirt track and it started to rain. The mud flicked up the back of us and we all had this strip of dirt down our backs! We stopped at the Cabbage Tree Palms Reserve and we walked through this really cool rainforest type track. Everything was so green. When we’d finished the track we hopped back on our bikes and kept on riding until lunch. By this time we were only a few kilometres in and still had a fair way to go! The ride got easier from then on, we started to ride on roads and it became less uphill so we got more time to really enjoy the ride. We rode through all the puddles and it flicked up in the face of the person behind us which we thought was hilarious. When it came to the end of our ride we packed up and took a well needed shower. This was one of the best days I’ve had here at Snowy. It was awesome!
