“Tomorrow will be sunny; the lowest temperatures will 16 degrees centigrade and highest will be 26 degrees centigrade. There’s almost no wind. This is today’s weather forecast.” What a wonderful weather. It’s really the best day for cycling. I think.
Cycling club members met at the school gate at 1:00pm on April 29, 2009. When I reach there at 12:50pm, I was wondering why there were only David and Jerry stayed at the school gate. David said that some were writing portfolio busily at home and some went to the net bar. I was really shocked. Those people preferred to stay at a dark room with smokes around them to a fresh, green nature. What are the problems to these teenagers?
We set out at 1:40pm and started the way to Xixia Mountain. Riding on the road, the only thing we could do is to step the pedal and listen to the symphony of the wind. But we also found some interesting things such as some people were collecting honey from the honeycomb. That seemed really scared and we were hit by tens of bees on that road when we riding. Luckily, helmet helped me a lot. Mr. Gallinalli was stopped at the end of the road and he was hit by the bees painfully. Then we went onto the NO.312 national road. I was really familiar with that road because it’s the same road which we went to Baohua Mountain last year. That was the toughest road on today’s trip. The dusty road was full of trucks and I even cannot breathe when a truck passed by. After we reached Xixia Mountain, we found nowhere to go up to the mountain. So we chose another way to Xianlin district. Xianlin was really pretty, like another small downtown in Nanjing. There are big supermarket, beautiful universities and high apartment. The roads were all straight and flat; just like racing roads. Then we decide to go to Purple Mountain to breathe the wonderful air David, Jerry and I even lost our way in Xianlin, but we found that Mr. Gallinali looked like a GPS. No matter where we were, he always can tell us where to go. As we were wondering if he lives here, he told us as a traveler, we have to use sun to estimate the directions. It’s really useful; I used sun and found Purple Mountain at last. We stopped at a small lake and took some beautiful pictures together. The scenes and air in Purple Mountain was perfect. When we went down to the Linggu temple, Mr. Gallinali bought some orange juice and a lamb shashliks and share with us. After supplied energy to our body, we went to a stone road in a small forest. Unluckily, Jerry’s tire blew out. We could only walk with our bike and found a place to fix the tire under the mountain about one kilometer away. While the old man fixing the tire. Several old men were chatting; Mr. Gallinali also joined their chatting. I was really shocked by the fluent Chinese Mr. Gallinali said.
Mr. Gallinali went back home earlier than us because he said that his wife was not at home and he had to take care of his baby. What a responsible father. During 5 hours riding. I relaxed myself and feel the spring. It’s really a good choice to biking as an physical exercise.
For physical activities, I still went to Impulse Health Center. There were so many kinds of things to play, so I chose to play squash. It’s not a popular sport in China but my mom like it. She can play very well. So playing with her has a lot of fun. I also met a very famous writer also playing squash there. We had a lot of fun. Tasting my sweat, waiting for my muscle. Exercises made me stronger.
