Play...

The photo I am posting today doesn't represent play in itself, but the story behind it does. For Thursday and Friday this week, I was away on an Outdoor Ed camp. We were doing a mountain biking course, and the excursion we went on was a 37 km mountain bike ride through two stations (stations are like farms, but MUCH bigger) For much of the riding part of the camp, we were off road... riding on cattle tracks, but for the very last stretch of the ride we rode on a straight dirt road, which is what this photo is of. The photo was taken when we finally reached the end of our riding. On day one we rode 28km before camping the night under the stars (we took tents but decided we would prefer to sleep outside!) then when we got up in the morning we rode another 9 km out to the main road. So as you can imagine, my bum was sooooo sore and the whole group was exhausted. I had great fun, and I know the photo doesn't really show this, but I hope my little story does!
