View Dragons Day 3: Nojoqui...Solvang...Los Olivos...Dunn in a larger map
Today we slay the dragon I thought to my self. Today we
shall slay the biggest dragon of all. My mind tried to wrap around the whole
idea of our next feat. I didn’t know what to expect. Except the fact that our
dragon would be made out of crunchy dough Filled with creamy custard and maybe
even sugar coated! The next step into our trip was going to be amazing. Wasn’t
it?
My gloves grip the slick handlebars while a black paved hill
emerged in front of us and blocked our view of the “dragon”. This motivated me
even more. I hopped on my bike and I sped off leaving John in the distance,
taking his time. My inducement grew bigger and just like that my face was red,
but I had made it up that hill and there it was. My mouth watered and my lip
was numb, the dragon I was waiting for all day had finally arrived and
definitely bearing snacks.
My stomach felt like it was going to explode. My heart was
beating a hundred times per second and my shared dessert with everyone at the
table was not even half way eaten. I take one look at the napoleon and my taste
buds start to tremble, I must have more I complained. How is this conquering
the dragon? How is this my way of succeeding? I think about it for another
minute and realize, it isn’t. My way is defeating the enemy. I wasn’t looking
too good, I scrambled to find my knife and fork, this is no day to lose I said
in a competitive tone. I will finish this!
My stomach took on a big challenge but settled down once we
started slowly rolling into camp. Our shortest ride by far took the longest to complete,
defeat, and finish. I was very happy with our results because tonight I would
sit down at the fire and get a lecture about our slow pace and how we could
have made a faster arrival. I will be laughing at their judgment. Because why
should I care? Stories where told and relationships where started. That’s our
main idea of a middle school trip.
