Found some helmets and are like YEH! Julio came late and is taking the whole time to find his release phone. Andy is absent because he has no bike. Novella forgot to make his mom sign the release form. He called his mom to make her come sign the papers. York's mom was skeptical about signing the papers because the school is not responsible for any injuries. He made his dad sign the papers and problem solved. Salty forgot to bring gloves so he went to a store and bought some cheap pink gloves. Hector forgot his phone at home because it has no minutes and its dead. Time to head out and see whats in store for the cycling crew. ** ===

We sat dow ** **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">n near the lake and contemplated taking a swim as Lisette vigorously sewed his jeans up and snacked on fishy rice crackers and w ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">heat thins. We decided against the swimming sadly and went on to a journey for Cunningham Park. Dozens of hills were the mission we had to devour and thou ** **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">gh SOME PEOPLE [Julio] walked up the hills, while the majority of us conquered it but still got lost on the way. We took a break near a nice park and played football. Once we found our way half the group got there safely while the other half got lost since the first half turned and didn't wait for the rest to catch up. When we all did regroup, Hector got a flat ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">tire and could not enjoy the wonders of Cunningham Park. As they fixed Hectors tire, Salty, N ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">ovella, Julio, and Mark were crashing into hills and logs. ** ===

===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> When we were trying to leave, CJ and Andrew got lost in the park and Yianna had to go find them in the park while the rest of us tried to eat at the rude diner "Blue B **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">ay ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Dinner" ** === ===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> WARNING: DO NOT EAT HER ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">E!

OH YEA!!! Then voyaged back to school, where we p ** **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">assed by a ran-over raccoon. THE END! ** ===

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">We went to Tony's to repair some of the bikes that needed fixing. York ate a sandwich. Then we took the triboro bridge to Randall's Island, where we got lost again, found our way again, and Andrew had a flat tire before most people got on the bridge going into Manhattan. Janna, Lisette, Hector, and Salty got across before we found out that the tire died and Hector and Salty went to SAVE THE DAY! by going back to fix it but ultimately failed.They had to walk the bridge and then walk through the projects to 111 street where Hector dodged bullets from junkies the whole way<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">. At 111 street we saw the two stars of LAW AND ORDER: SVU [| Detective Elliot Stabler], and [|Detective Olivia Benson] ** **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">, along with the co-star of the episode Hillary Duff [whose voice was intensely high pitched and she yelled at the other co-star saying "YOU BITCH!!..."] Since it was too late to go to Central Park like we had originally planned, we biked down to 63st and Lexington ave. On the way people were sticking up the middle finger to us as taxis and buses were trying to run us over. Though such dramatic chain of events happened, we made it safely to the rudest train station in NYC, F line 63st. People gave us a hard time as fat people decided to squeeze into an elevator filled with 5 bikes!!!! They were big... there was no room to get in or out... yet they still did it and argued with Yianna. It took an hour to get all the bikes down stairs cause of RUDE PEOPLE!! Then we got to school safely. THE END! ** ===

===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We started of the day by heading to the Williams burg bridge which took us to the lower east side of Manhattan. Then we rode to lower Manhattan, where we met our destination. Julio biked the whole entire bridge, and was successful, in his attempt. (LIES) We hanged **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> out in the Seaport for 30 minutes, then we decided to ride back to the school. We ended up on the wrong cycling path, so we ended up in the FDR highway. ** ===

From there, we rode back to school. THE END! ** <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ===

===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">We came to **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">school and found out that we had many decisions to make. **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We had to work on our video, and our presentations, while deciding what food to eat. We all played cards for some period **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">of time, until we **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">thought to ourselves that we were wasting our time. (Nick shut us do **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">wn) Justin, Salty, Lisette, Yianna decided to go to Justin's house to get some good movies. After that we decided what we would eat. It came down to two decisions: Thai food, or IHOP. We quizzed York on some capitals and we asked him how he knew **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">w all of them? He replied " Its called being a very bored 4th grader." LMAO!! Then we deiced it would be best to order food. Most of us order Thai Food, while Salty, Julio, York and Novella ordered Domino's. Next we headed to the chemistry room, where we watched several mo **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">vies. We watched ****<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> "Dawn of the Dead," over "The 40-Year Old Virgin." Like the rest of the movies, it crashed after 20 minutes of play, so we spent the rest of the time watching 'Dumb and Dumber." Not much of an exciting day. The weather caused us to stay indoors, which gave us an opportunity to rest up for tomorrow's huge trip. THE END! ** ===

===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We won't have time to write down our experiences at the time, but on Friday, we plan to go to New Jersey for off-road action on our bicycles via the George Washington Bridge, heading up the West Side Highway. We expect to have a lot of flat tires, but we are going to enjoy the last of cycling. We hope to capture more videos and pictures, so we can all remember that wonderful time we had doing this Renshizzle. =D ** ===
