Young Rider

Once there was a young boy named Rill who really love to ride bicycle, it was actually quite weird for a boy in his age cause most boy would love to ride motorcycle rather than bicycle. But he didn’t care with what people had in their mind. For him being different did not mean that he was weird, but that made him better than anyone because he did what he loved and he did not bother anybody.

Rill lived in quite big city with a quite big population, however he could not find what he really wanted to do in this city easily. Rill really wanted to join kind a bicycle competition, the problem was the competition was not available in his city. So, he only rode his bicycle around the city alone. Suddenly, one day he got a really big news from his mother.

“Hey Rill, have you checked your phone ?”

“Huh ? What’s wrong with my phone ?”

“No. silly, check your message”

“Owh, what message ?”

“Just check it first”

“Okay”

Then Rill check his message in his phone, suddenly he shouted

“Whatttttt ??? A cycling event ?”

“Yes”

“But, I can’t join in cause I am not joining any cycling club”

“Don’t worry, your uncle asked me to tell you that he wanted you to join in the event with his cycling club”

“Really Mom ?”

“Yes, of course”

“Owh, It’s on then”

Rill was absolutely really pleased with what his mom told him. So, Rill then prepared himself for the cycling event by having some exercises alone. A few days after, finally the day that Rill had been waiting for came then he went to his uncle first to gather with the other team-mate. Rill was super excited and also a little shocked cause his teammate was old man aged twenties till forties and he was the only person who was seventeen.

After that, Rill and team went to the start line. In there, there were so many cycling club and that made Rill became more excited. But, again and again Rill was the only teenager in that event and some people felt that Rill could not reach the finish line. It made him a little downed cause he thought that he might not be as good as the other people. However, it did not mean that he wanted to give up. He believed in himself that he could do it and that was just a small obstacle. Well, the cycling event had a quite long route with the distance of 17 kilometers. It might be quite tough for a young boy.

After waiting for a couple of minutes in the start line, finally the referee opened and started the cycling event. So, Rill’s and his team position were in the middle. They were really lucky to get place in the middle, then they tried to pass their opponent little by little. At the first, Rill felt a little afraid to pass another people. But after passing another participant, Rill became more confident and kept doing what he loved to do. Actually, the cycling event was not a race so it was okay if you were not the first finisher. The point of it was only for encouraging people to have some exercise for becoming a healthy society.

So, after riding bicycle for around ninety minutes finally Rill was able to reach the finish line and he was not the last. Then he went to see his uncle near the finish line. His uncle gave him a glass of water and asked him.

“How was it ?”

“It was really fun, I want more”

“That’s good, you may join it again next year”

“Absolutely”

Suddenly, one of his uncle’s friend came and he seemed to be a little shocked cause Rill could reach the finish line earlier than he thought.
“Wow, you already here”

“Yes”

“I think I underestimated you”

“That’s okay, people may think the same as you cause I am just a teenager with lack of experiences”

“Owh, don’t be like that. You are a great rider”

“Thank you”

Well, after that event Rill became even diligent to ride his bicycle. He wanted to be a professional bicycle rider and he wanted to go everywhere just by using his bicycle. Also he wanted to search people who loved cycling just like him so he could have friends for enjoying his hobby.
