...The horrors of the Year 8 Rail Trail...

You usually end up getting up between 5am & 6am

Trust me, your butt and hands get pretty sore!

It is easier to keep a steady pace than to speed up and slow down. 

You have LOTS of stuff to carry around with you!

You run out of room in your backpack quickly so... take light layers! 

Other wise your stuff ends up EVERYWHERE!

It helps to have someone biking at the same pace as you. 

Trust me, when you are stopping on top of a hill you'll need it!

Training before hand REALLY helps - DONT BE CAUGHT OUT!!!

Even if your in the slow group have fun. Its a once in a lifetime experince
