Bicycle ride of 110 kilometers
Hi everybody! After I took my college entrance examination in Qinghai, I was so eager, as well as my firends to find a way to have a good relaxation. We though a lot about the best way to do it. At the end We decided tovisit a scenery called Huyanglin.
We gathered just after the dawn and set out for our bicycle trip.
Please take a look at this. What's funny about it is where you will see the smallest bike was ridden by the biggest guy. We were so worried that it was too small to take that much weight at first.However it turned out to be a bike of good quality.
As you might noticed the smallest bike got storage on its back and since none of rest bikes have something like this, It was the only one could be used to carry our stuffs.so when we did go ahead,I just wondered if it was too bad of us to do that. However soon after we were on the way, we were caught up with by two our classmates who came along by motorcycle. The small bike and its rider were then relieved from the burden of carrying all the bags.
Hulingyang is as far as 55 kilometers away from our city and it is windy all the year. Specially along the way to get there , we had been riding againt the wind and even up the hill. It was too hard for anyone like us who had never been riding in such long distance. So we had to take a rest in every few miles.
Later we figured out a better way to ride faster . But there was a consequence that the gasoline was about to run out. Fortunately a supplement of it in a bottlewas send to us by the parent of a classmate who just need to take the same way in his trip to do some business.
By the time when we arrived there it was about noon, 6 hours after we started. We stopped at a suitable place for barbecue and then had coffee cooked by ourself using this gas stove as you can see in the pictures.
The beautiful scenery on the background of these photoes on the other hand seemed the most delightful pleasure I received. I bet you cannot tell how much I enjoyed by seeing the blue sky and white cloud when I looked up and with eyes full ofgreen or caught by the filed of rape flowers when I turned my head a little down. The tireness of the long ride was just paid off by the refreshing feelings and the ease of mind.
It took us 4 hours to ride way back. When I arrived home, I was almost out of every bit energy I have to hold myself to stand.
When I recalled the journey of the 110 kilometer ride, thinking of my complains along the way about the distance and being exhausted, I was so proud that we finished it. What's more I learned about it is how important it is to hold on to the faith that we will be successed in whatever we do as long as we never give up.
