Outdoor Adventure Time!, Tuesday, period 1

Class met at the Portalocity office, today, where Eliot and Parker waited.

"So we're gonna do somethin' slightly different, today," Eliot said, bouncing ever so slightly on his toes. God, but he loved having two functional legs. "Basically a field trip."

“We’ll be grabbing water, sunscreen, snacks and so on when we get there,” Parker added, looking pretty buzzed. “Hurry up! Last one through winds up in Budapest!”

"That's not true." Eliot really hoped it wasn't true, he was going to take the end of the line and he never much liked Budapest. "Parker, no sending anyone to Budapest!"

Parker snickered. Eliot, you just stay easy.

When they got through the portal, they’d find themselves at the beginning of the Virginia Creeper Trail, with mountain bikes, safety equipment, and extra supplies waiting.

"Welcome to the Virginia Creeper Trail," Eliot said. "One of the longest continuous biking trails around. It's got somethin' for everyone, nice scenery, historic railroad bridges, some easy rides -- and some sharp downhills for you speed demons."

“Okay! Whoever has never ridden a bike before, stick with Eliot. He’ll help you out.” She gave them her most manic grin. “If you have, super. Get set up!”

"That includes helmets!" Eliot noted, giving Parker a pointed look. "For everyone, regardless of skill level. Trust me, you don't want a concussion. They suck a lot."

“If they crack their skull open, they’ll learn,” Parker said with a snort.

"Or they'll die and you'll be sad." They should maybe not talk about students dying. "Which is way less likely to happen if you all follow directions and wear a goddamn bike helmet. It ain't dorky if everyone's doin' it."

High-five!

Mabel took herself a moment to preen. Oh yeah, she was not above accepting a little praise, here.

"Is there anywhere on the island that people can go biking like this? I mean, most of town is stairs... I haven't tried the preserve yet..."

There was an idea, though.

"Not so much," Parker admitted with some regret. "Although if you can find a path through the Preserve, that's probably not so bad. I wouldn't go near the Rocky Places though, those things are too steep and sharp, there's no maneuvering. The stairs all over town are great, but will probably get you stopped by Stormtroopers and rickshaws." She hummed and added, "I bet Baltimore has some good skate parks and biking areas, though, that wouldn't be too far off."

"Ooo! I've never been to Baltimore! I'm going to have to get a bike of my own and visit!"

Best of plans! Maybe there were more hills!
