The Inside Ride at GCI! Yesterday, a meaningful event called the Inside Ride came to my school, GCI. What is the Inside Ride? It is a fundraiser to make a difference to children with cancer! There are teams consisting of six people, where each of them are responsible for getting pledges and during the actual event, each of the team members ride on a stationary bike for ten minutes each. At the end of the two-hour event, there were medals awarded for the farthest distance rode, best team spirit and best costumes.
Although I wasn't actually part of the event, I still attended the event to cheer on for my friends and classmates! The Inside Ride was held on the second floor, but the event was so insane that noises could heard from the first and third floor! That is when I decided to see what's happening at the last hour of the event. As I stepped in the big gym where the event was held, the music gets louder and louder, echoing throughout the gym. It was amazing to see that each team had its own unique costumes and team name. The team I decided to cheer for was called Zombie something Bakers...? It was a fairly lengthy name for the team that I have forgotten and each them were wearing white toques. Others dressed up as different heroes, colours of the rainbows and many of the riders made their own creative costumes.
The event was insane! The music and the spirit added to the insanity. It wasn't just the students participating in the event, but the teachers were doing the event as well! People were jumping up and down, dancing, circling around their team member as they take turns riding for ten minutes on the bike. It was like a massive dance party and a bike riding competition since everyone's energy levels were intense! Everyone was yelling, cheering, screaming and singing along to the songs that were played. Things started to heat up when Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake were played. There was someone dressed up as a banana doing Harlem Shake, which was amazing because he got awarded for that even though he wasn't part of the actual event. It was nice to see many volunteers helping out for a great cause. Overall, the Inside Ride was very successful!
