Bike Tripin'

Well, as promised the future held a bike trip. It wasn't quite what I expected (distance wise), but nonetheless it was awesome. I went with eight friends of mine, who I worked with over the summer. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, therefor all the pictures I will post are from Chris Mathews camera.

Despite the fact that we didn't end up biking all that much we still found plenty of things to do.



First we climbed to the top of this old railroad bridge. It was about 70 feet in the air. Although we briefly contemplated jumping off, we decided that was a bad life choice. Here, Matt 'Scar' Megard and Jeff 'Starship' Dickman, walk along a catwalk.



Here again you can see how tall this structure was. Additionally, at the top of this ladder there was a yellow jackets nest. Brett 'Wulf' Meggard and Hannah 'Trex' Joseph ascend the ladder.



Once we finally reached Harrison we decided to hit up the waterfront. There just so happened to be a pylon with a ladder. So, I decided to jump off.

We ended up staying at a place called Bell Bay. It's a great campsite and the caretakers are amazing. After we arrived in Harrison we had to bike another five or so miles to the campsite. These last miles proved to be the hardest due to a very steep and windy hill.

But it was worth it. Overall it was a great trip. Here is a map of the route that we took.
