[00:00.10]A Picnic|[00:02.26] What a great day for a picnic!|[00:05.62] We're not only having a picnic;|[00:07.73] we're having a big bike ride, too.|[00:09.97] We did this last year with a lot of friends also.|[00:13.58] It was really fun.|[00:15.32] We meet quite early in the morning in a pretty little town.|[00:19.92] The town is where the Niagara|[00:22.10] River flows into Lake Ontario in Canada.|[00:25.34] The town's name is Niagara-on-the-Lake.|[00:28.44] Then all of the people, fifty or more,|[00:31.87] get on their bikes or roller blades.|[00:34.67] We go on a bike path beside the river.|[00:37.65] The path we take is about 11 km or 6 miles long.|[00:43.62] There are a lot of other people using the path, too.|[00:46.92] We usually stop for an ice cream treat near the end|[00:51.65] or where we turn around to go back to our cars.|[00:55.13] It is just before the park where we will have|[00:58.36] our picnic, and a steep hill.|[01:00.79] Many of the men and boys go up the hill.|[01:04.09] Most of the women and children go back to their cars.|[01:08.44] The ride takes about two hours plus|[01:11.49] whatever time we take at the ice cream store.|[01:14.72] After the ride is finished, we go the park.|[01:18.27] We have a delicious "pot-luck" lunch.|[01:21.82] Pot luck means everyone brings some food|[01:25.24] to share with the others.|[01:26.86] We eat, rest, talk and laugh.|[01:30.96] After we've cleaned up, some of us climb the tower|[01:34.44] that is there remembering a war at that place and its general.|[01:39.23] It is a steep climb, over l00 steps.|[01:43.34] We usually end the day with a fun game of baseball or soccer.|[01:48.32] Finally, we pack up our stuff. Tired and dirty,|[01:53.29] we head for home with good memories swimming in our heads.
