Bike day!

The trip there
The trip up was an easy one, we got our bikes, rode to the bus stop, put our bikes on the bus, then get off, and then go up the gondala. After that we went up to the chair lift and rode over to say hi to Suisse (Switzerland). I liked the bit were we went into the hut and toook a photo under the Suisse flag.
Ok that’s enough of Switzerland, let’s head back to France
The road
The road was quite bumpy at some points beacause of the gravel, it was still fun but Sonia (my mum) and Miles (my brother) weren’t quite confident yet. There were really big bumps/ramps that I went in the air on one of them. Then after I rode the down hill run I went down the whole entire road (the second part is really steep) and I didn’t crash but I thought I would.
Watch out for cows
The downhill part
Time to get serious
On the downhill part I fell over five times or something like that. The fist time I landed in nettles and it realy hurt but the other times I was fine. One time Stuart (my dad) filmed me going down a wobbly part. I did quite good for my first time and I learnt how to skid my back wheel to turn and also some other stuff. It was one of my favourite times.
Nailed it
