The Interstate
Starting time: 3:00 P.M.
Ending Time: 8:00 P.M.
Total Distance: 30 miles
We began the day in Santa Clarita, California. We headed to a bike
shop to get necessary equipment for mountain riding. We began riding
around 3:00 in the afternoon on a six lane Interstate. After riding for
about 3 miles we were pulled over by a policeman on a motorcycle. He
informed us that we were forbidden by law to ride our bicycles on an
Interstate. So we exited the freeway, and Danny - shortly thereafter
- got a flat tire. After the lengthy changing process we proceeded on
for about 5 miles when Charles hit some broken glass and cut his tire.
Danny and Roman rode on due to the fact that we got a late start and
would have to ride through the Sierra Mountains. The ride through the
mountains was beautiful, yet strenuous. We saw a roadrunner, deer, and
many farm animals. It was tiring but a well worth while ride. We covered
a meager distance of 30 miles. We arrived in Vincent at around 8:00 P.M.
The ride was uphill for much of the way and was extremely steep. The
riders were picked up cold and exhausted and quickly fell asleep in the
Motel 6.
