We ride our bikes wearing white button down shirts and black ties. It is like we are going to work. We are very serious about what we do[do]haha. My friend Ben rides a Huffy pro that he got at K mart. It only weighs 44 pounds. It is a nice bike but I got mine at Costco. It is the Huffy elite, I am sure that you have heard of it. Mine was a better deal. My bike weighs 66 pounds but once I take the training wheels off it will be down to 60, I think. I don't know why but biking makes my butt hurt. My seat has three inches of foam that I taped on it. I don't now what the problem is. My Dad said that he would buy me a real sheapskin cover for it just for this race. This is the main reason why I am racing. I know how to ride my bike. Ben is just trying to learn. That is the main reason why he is doing this race. I told him that it would be a great opportunity to learn. He also heard that their would be free icecream. My friend Ben is very excited about this opportunity. bye -Cutters15121512****1512There has been a change of plans.1512I repeat.1512There is a change of plans. Ben will not be riding his new huffy pro in the race. He got nervous and began to doubt his bike riding abilities. And considering that he has none, i do not blame him. He wanted to quit the race. After a long talk filled with encouragement Ben has decided to do the race. He has renewed his confidence and will be riding his scooter. It is the Huffy 'hyper speed' elite, i am sure that you have heard of it. He rode the course and his time was, with out a doubt, the fastest i have ever witnessed. Ben is pumped. I can see it in the way he pumps his scooter.1512bye. -Cutters
