Bikes and Brakes

so like...no, just no D:
~

yesterday my cousin Gabriel was having a promotion from the 5th grade to the 6th grade, so we went and celebrated Yay! :) (we were in Long Beach)

the afterwards we went to the shoreline and had pizza Yum! :P haha, then we rode those cool looking bikes that seat like six people D: sure it looks sooooo easy at first but haha, ITS NOT.
it was torture DX i rode with my cousin Hondi (Alejandra), my sister Becky and my step cousin Kerri.

so we were waiting to go then the lady's like: "oh, all people under 18 MUST wear a helmet~"
and this was us: "AWWW!!! but now we're gonna look even MORE like dorks!!!"

so we went to go get our helmets, and everyone else had already rode off, so we took off too. we got on and well everything seemed fine at first until we had to got up this little hill thing...ha ha ha, we were pushing so hard!! but the stupid bike would NOT go up!! so Hondi's dad came up from behind and pushed us up, so like well done, yay, no problems from here right? WRONG.

that bike was sooooo hard to pedal and we were dying DX

so we started to pedal some more and then there was a down hill YAY!! so we made it down and we started to pedal again, but AGAIN it was soooo freakin' hard DX i think that all the people we passed thought either 1. we were wimps or 2. we're idiots. hahaha we passed by a crowd of like 20 people in blue suits and you could slowly see their heads turning they watched us pass them by XD and we stopped right in front of them!! even worse!! (you could see them trying to hold back laughing at us) i mean, even WE were laughing at us!

we did not make it far, so we desided two of us should push from behind and two of us should pedal (i was the driver k, thanks) so Hondi and i were pedaling and Kerri and Becky were pushing, only then did we actually start getting somewhere :) we were so happy, but it was still hard!! so we would switch off on who was pushing.

so, problem sort of sovled we were on our way, but apparently we were taking so long that everyone else had already stared coming back D: (we were still trying to figure out how everyone was going so fast)

they'd pass us by and be like: "you guys are still over here?"

and then a savior came down from the sky on angles wings!! (well, she sort of was just on her way back from her bike ride) and SHE was the only one with enough concern for us to try and figure out why our bike was a jerk face.

my tia(aunt) Dilva!! she looked at us and stopped to help us then she relized something...we still had the brake on D: GAH!! so she took it off and we were ride smoothly like everyone else :D we were screaming and laughing hysterically at our stupid-ness for about five minutes after the brake had been released!

hahaha, so we made it to the end of the trail thing and turned back and made it to the rental shop in one peace...the only problem was, no one else was there...

we were SUPER confused!! they were ahead of us yet we made it back first...then the rental chick said in her cool accent: "you guys still have 40mins left"

D:

so we rode the OTHER trail we didnt see that apparently the rest of our family had taken and thats that, we kept going and going but we didnt see anyone but we saw Hondi's dad and Gabriel on their way back so we turned around to follow them, then the race started!!

so like, just for the record, i dont care what Gabriel says, he did not let us win, we totally won because of their lack of AWESOME-NESS!

then we made it back and we rode a Carosel XD it was so fun haha, i know, i'm a dork.

all the way there and back from the shoreline we were listening to the Coraline soundtrack and all its impossible french-ness (i have an obsession with stop-motion films) and now Kerri and i have a list of to-do things :D cant wait

you're awesome if your still reading :D
just to let you know, i'm pretty sure we had sweat out our last bit of IQ points that day XD

bye ;)
