Iron Hill Preriding



So on Sunday I met up with Gunnar, Mr. Bergey, and Zach at Gunnars place to go up to iron hill for some preriding. The ride up was good, going through the ghetto of West Chester getting lost a few times but we got to Iron Hill in one piece. We pulled in and met up with Jacob and Mr. Ehlinger. We did our first lap at a nice slow pace but rocketed on the down hills. Towards the end of our lap we heard some thunder but luckily the storm missed us. We did the mega dip a few times which is a really really fun thing and went back to the cars. We decided we would do a handicapped lap race. With Mr. Ehlinger having a 30 sec head start then Gunnar, Jacob and I, then Zach about 3 minutes back.I stayed with Jacob for a while but lost him. It was now just me looking around for Zach. He caught me on a downhill and just kept on going. Unfortunatly I never did get up with anybody and got last. Next we did a nice cool down lap. Then off to find some food. We ate at this really good Barbeque place called Famouse Dave's which was really good and very filling. So we got back to Gunnars house unloaded and I headed home, but not without my two Walmart bags full of tubes. I wanted to get them because my mom said she could make some bags out of them, like tool bags. So yesterday I figured I would try and make one and see how it went. The sowing isnt very good at all because it was done by me plus theres some blood stains on the bag but assure you when my mom does it there wont be anything wrong with them. Then I superglued some velcroe on, and then a little Specialized simble that I made it is a very cool bag. If anybody wants one you can just leave a comment and I will try and get them to you at Iron Hill. I think I will just charge like 5 bucks. I can fit a 26" tube probably fit a 29" then a CO2 pump and then 3 tire irons in it easily. I can put a logo on it if you would like but only to an extent nothing very hard like words or anything, sorry.
