My heart frantically beating as I was speeding faster and faster. The hill smiled and laughed at me and then five seconds later- ZOOM! Off I sped again, zooming down the hill. Then something curious happened, the atmosphere went silent. We had reached the bottom of the hill and everyone looked back to see where we had been.
"Holy Moly, " I thought as I looked at the near vertical slope I was having to go up. I nearly made it up but just as I got to gate- SPLAT- I fell to the ground. Embarrassingly I walked up the hill carrying my bike.
Mountain biking at Hanmer camp was my favourite activity.
