On the 25 of September, my two friends and I met up to go for a bike ride around Battaramulla. This was our first time going for a ride as a group of friends, and we were primarily motivated to cycle together as we were still in lockdown. Therefore, we were really eager to meet up and to cycle a bit.

I first had to cycle to school to meet up with the others so that we could begin cycling together. At first, we wanted to find a route or path to cycle around so that we would not be disturbed. However, we had the sudden idea to just cycle around for a bit and to see where we would end up. We cycled for about 20 minutes to start off.

After about 20 minutes, we took a small break to drink some water and to re-think where we wanted to go. We had the idea to cycle back towards the direction of the school to parliament road. This took us another 20 to 30 minutes to arrive. Finally, when we arrived at parliament road we all cycled back towards the school where we split up and returned home.

Towards the end, I was pretty tired especially after not cycling properly for more than 2 years. I was very happy and satisfied as we were able to get some exercise in and to get out of our houses. As well as that, it allowed us to see each other and to socialize a bit.
