Soldier Hollow Mountain Bike Race Clean cassettes, sharp shifting, the ride ruinning smooth, the bikes awaited their finale: Solider Hollow. The month up to this race was the most stressful by far.

Prompt: Horseback Riding and how it has shaped me to be the person I am today. As I galloped above Uniform, the new horse I had inherited from my father, I was facing a whole new challenge ahead of me. He was way more energetic than the ones I I had ridden before and obviously had a rough past, as he was very spooky while jumping fences. Having people close to the obstacles or unusual things like the big hat of my coach, would bring dark past memories to him, as he most likely was mistreated

biking. Ever since I was 13 I 've been going on 40 mile bike rides by myself. I am just a person that likes biking in its entirety. By that I mean I like long distance, Mountain and stunt biking.

the main road we were aiming for was in the direction of the steep trail so we took our best bet and headed up the looming mountain ahead of us. Once at the base, Cory got to lead again and he did not like the idea of powering up the mountain on his bike because, he hadn’t done so on even the smallest hills that you could coast up and over, so he decided to walk it up the mountain. Everyone else wanted to power through this obstacle but since Cory was in front it was out of the question. Walking up

In the early morning of August 6, 1945, a city was left in ruins. Homes ravaged, schools demolished, and over one hundred thousand civilians, dead.

configuration” (Georgia State University, 2015). The gravitational potential energy an object possesses is a result of its vertical position or height (“Potential Energy”, 2015). An example of gravitational potential energy can be of a bike at the highest point of a hill. When the bike is at the top of the hill, the energy it possesses is potential energy since it is not in use and is being stored. To calculate an object’s gravitational potential energy, use the equation GPE = mgh. The m in the equation

Normally, people wear helmets when they go for a nice bike ride, so it seemed out of the ordinary that he was wearing one for no reason.
