Trip theme - Dayton Culture
Trip Overview:
This trip to the Dayton Art Institute is entertaining, fun, and challenging. We'd rate this ride 2/4 on a scale of how challenging it is, because it was relatively flat and the roads were nice, but we went on the roads. This ride is also pretty long, 21.4 miles to be exact (round trip), this won't be as long as our 25 mile trip to Xenia or Carillon park but still fairly long.
On this ride we will go to the Dayton Art Institute, and acquire knowledge on the subject of art all over the world. At the Dayton Art Institute we will learn stuff about African art and American art. Within the African exhibit they have Bamileke people sculptures and Nok sculptures. Before we go to the Dayton Art Institute we will stop at the Island Metropark and take a quick break and eat lunch, also do a little sight seeing. At the Art Institute we will see paintings and look at the difference of paintings throughout the ages, as well as having fun. Being safe is key, try not to split from the group, this will NOT be a straight ride and will be more complicated than a lot of our earlier rides. Pick a buddy and stay near the group! Once all our sight seeing is done we will head back to the school down the same path.
Here was a pretty funny moment.

Most Memorable Moment:
Our most memorable experience was seeing the African sculptures. The African sculptures were intricate and beautiful, making this the most memorable part of the trip. After seeing the African sculptures the most memorable and exciting thing we did was most likely the ride there. The ride to the Dayton Art Institute was both beautiful, relaxing, and over all the whole trip was a pretty memorable experience.
