We were supposed to go for a long ride today, but we had to cut it short because of the rain.

We even ended up riding some of the way in the rain.

Happy Father's Day!

On this Father's Day we went for our official longest ride of the year(other then the bike-a-thon). We started at Norristown then rode up to Oaks and back down to Norristown then down to Spring Mill. Next we rode into Philidelphia. it was around lunch time by then so we stopped and bought some lunch(I had a sandwich. I wanted a hot dog but they did not have any.). After that we rode to the art museum and then we rode back to a bridge where Mom and Noelle picked us up. I rode about 40 miles. That is 10 miles less than half of what I will be riding in the bike-a-thon.

On this day, Noelle also went on a long ride. We all rode toghther for the first 3 hours or the first 26 miles. Noelle rode for 3 hours in that 3 hours she rode 26 miles.

Rain ends Lady Pirates season

Our softball season came to a soggy end today.

After playing through 4 innings in the rain, we were losing by 1 run.

In the 5th inning our first two batters got out. Then I hit a triple and scored on an overthrow to tie the game.

But while the next batter was up, the umpire called the game because of the rain. The 5th inning didn't count and we lost by 1 run.

We played really hard this year and had a lot of fun even if we don't get to play in the championship game.

A long ride and a spill

Today we went on a long ride, our longest of the year so far.

It got off to a bit of a bad start though, when I took a little spill.

I got a few cuts and hurt my side when i flipped over my bike.

After my Mom cleaned me up, we were riding again.

When we were ddone, I had ridden 33 miles.
