100 miles

I expect the 100 miles to be challenging. I bI expect the 100 miles to be challenging. I bet I will discover a lot of old stuff and also see new things I have never seen in my life. Also I think that the 100 miles there is going to be a lot of hills and therefore we are going to have to keep on changing gears. So 100 miles here I come. Also when I become older I’m talk to my kid about this wonderful experience

Experience after 100 miles

The 100 miles was very fun I discover a lot of things I have never seen in my life. We work as a team to make this a successful ride however it was kind of boring because there was nothing else to do but ride your bike. Also there was a lot of falls in the 100 miles. I fell when turning in a hill but anyways I’m happy I did the 100 miles because I never done in my life it was a great experience.

5 Borough Bike Tour


In our 5 borough bike tour at first I felt amazing because we were heading through different places that I have never seen before. But as the ride start going I start to feel tired and nasty because it was raining and I was very wet and felt cold. However it was a fun experience because I got to see how the five boroughs looks like for example Staten Island. At the end of the ride I felt happy because I complete something that is hard and I think it was a good experience because we are trying to show an example to the people that instead of using car we could use efficient transportation like bicycles.

Snitches Gets Stitches


In this article it is talking about how when people snitch they could easily loss their reputation in the street or they could get hurt and the main point is that you should mind your own business however in this article I’m in between because when you snitches sometimes you get jumped or you could get hurt and also when you snitches you have to go through a lot of hard work because you have to go to trial to be a witness but however if we don’t do nothing about then the crime in the street is going to increase so the best solution is to put more police in the streets so they could do their job so therefore you mind your own business and you depend on yourself to survive in the neighborhood.

Our First Bike Ride

Hi my name is Johnny Ortiz. I am currently in I challenge myself (ICM). ICM is an organization is which you get to discover different places by riding bikes. During our first ride we went to Canal St. We rode our bikes and we saw other cyclist throughout NYC and also we went through different place in town doing drills to become a better cyclist. Our destination was from George Washington High School and when we arrive to canal st. we cover 11.5 miles in bike and we head back so there for we did 23 miles in a day. Was challenging at first but after a while you’ll get the hang of it because we already know how to do it. Also during our first ride we drove with a lot of precaution we would take care of each other. Because Cycling is all about having dedication and mostly having teamwork to be one of the best. And at last you need to learn how to maintain yourself to be a cyclist. For example when you not riding bikes you could work out and eat healthy so that you could challenge yourself next time you ride your bike and also so that when you old you would be physically challenge.
