The ride around hornby

We have been working on recounts in our class so we can prepare for the eastle test. We have been learning about how to add more interesting words and ideas. My next steps would be to use more advanced punctuation.

On the first Sunday of the holidays my friends and I went on a bike ride. We spent four hours on our bikes and travelled all around hornby for fun.

First I called Annabelle and organised to meet her at about one o'clock to start the bike ride. Once Annabelle and I met up we went to pick up Sione.

After about five minutes of biking we got to Sione’s house where we planned to pick up him and Mathan. Sione’s Dad told us they were not there and we left. I got a little bit annoyed because we planned this prior to the event. Annabelle and I hung around the corner to see if they were coming but there was no sign of them. However we did see Neil whom we mistook for Marcus. Once we figured out his true identity Annabelle started screaming at him.

We then left to get Nathan. Once we got to Nathan’s house it took him ages to open the door. Annabelle was the one who knocked and I stayed out by the bikes in case it was the wrong house. Finally he got out his scooter and decided to come with us.

With Nathan we then went to see if Sione and Mathan were home. On waterloo corner I got a phone call from Madison who said she couldn’t come because she was out. Sione and Mathan were still not home however we did get directions to Mathan’s house to see if they were there.

We made the journey back to the other side of hornby. Despite our efforts they were nowhere to be seen. We started to get annoyed because we couldn’t find Sione and Mathan anywhere.

After yet another unsuccessful search we decided to go to wycolla park. We stayed there for about an hour just talking and hanging out.

We then went out of wycolla park to go home when Mathan and Sione pulled up in their car. “ where the heck were you “ we asked. “ Around the place” they replied. Then they got out of the car and joined us. Soon after Steffan pulled out of wycolla park on his bike followed by Nicolas and Chloe. Mathan then went to the dairy to buy lollies and a soft drink. Everyone showed up after far too long in their absence. Well, at least they showed up.

After the reunion we went to the bmx track where we met our next obstacle… Labron and two of his friends followed us there and started picking on us so we moved to another part of the track. Mathan started rolling the soft drink down the track and watching it fizz up. By the time we had spent ten minutes at the track the bottle was frothy and full of dirt. We all got a go at bringing destruction towards the poor bottle.

Labron threatened to steal our bikes because we wouldn’t let him ride them. When we were by the first turn of the track smashing the fizzy bottle when Labron picked up my bike and started riding it. We all yelled at him and he threw it on the dirt.

I then picked up my bike and we decided to leave before things got any worse. We retreated to wycolla park where I checked my phone for the time and needed to get home. I had a quick look for Annabelle but couldn’t find her so I rode home by myself.

After the bike ride I was very tired but glad I went. We had so much fun and managed to completely destroy the fizzy bottle. I would definitely go on another bike ride with everyone.
