A Little R&R: Part One

Originally posted 5/26/2011


We aren't what you would consider a traditional school so when I say we are having a little "R & R" I don't mean we are having some rest and relaxation.  Our R & R around here is Recumbents and Rovers, of course! The 7th and 8th grade teams have been working on creating some pretty awesome projects this last month.  Team M/M just finished building their recumbent bikes, made from donated bikes that were torn apart and reassembled as recumbents.  How did they celebrate finishing the project? Two words: Bike. Rodeo. Basically each group took their bike out for a spin around the parking lot, some moving much faster than others! Wish I had a picture of the mob of bikes that came around the corner at one point.  I wasn't thinking "picture" at that moment though, I was thinking "band aids" and "peroxide"! (No bike or human was injured during the course of the rodeo)
