越過了一座座高山，歷經了風雨的洗禮，此次單車環台的旅程終於接近了尾聲。前一個禮拜，我們從台北橫越台灣東部的山巒，並在第一個禮拜的尾聲迎接了成年禮到來，由父母親替我們戴上頭冠，我們深深體會到這段旅程帶給我們的體悟，就是蛻變成一個更加成熟的人。

Over-going the mountains and after the baptism of wind and rain, the cycling journey around Taiwan is finally coming to an end. The previous week, we traversed the mountains of eastern Taiwan from Taipei, and received the coming-of-age ceremony at the end of the first week. Our parents put on the crowns for us, integrated with the insights brought by the experiences from cycling around Taiwan, we became mature.

第二個禮拜的路程和先前相比，在地形的挑戰上簡單了不少，大多都是市區平緩的路段，但我們也因此迎來了新的考驗。今天從嘉義一路騎到台中，總長102公里的路程讓不少人聽見就唉聲連連。一早從嘉義出發，幸好天氣陰爽，太陽被厚厚的雲層遮住，時不時才會探出頭來，路上偶爾也能感受到一點微風細雨，正好洗去了路途的炎熱。

The route of the second week is comparatively easier. The majority of them are urban areas and flat roads. Therefore, we encounter brand new challenges with the different road conditions.Today, we have to ride all the way from Chiayi to Taichung. The 102-kilometer distance made many people groan when they heard it. We departed from Chiayi early in the morning. Fortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sun was covered by thick nimbus. The sun would show from time to time. Sometimes we could also feel a little breeze and drizzle on the road, which washed away the heat on the road.

騎乘的過程中，我們時而能在道路兩旁能看見一大片綠色稻田和一望無際的藍天。沿路滿是整齊的樹木，迎面撲來清甜的空氣，頗有一種世外桃源之感。進入了市區，不巧撞上了上班時段，路上的車流不斷增加，時時刻刻都在考驗我們的專注度與反應能力。路上的各種情況需要透過大家口令的傳達，在注意安全的同時，也要留意路上的交通號誌，一路上我們繃緊神經、保持警戒，並且全神貫注，深怕一不注意就摔得遍體鱗傷。車隊的順序有時會因為起步的快慢、道路的寬窄而被打亂，但不變的是每個人口中喊著的「靠右！」、「注意公車！」；在騎乘的過程中能夠感受到10F因為互相關心，彼此提醒，逐漸成為一個並肩同行的團隊。

Sometimes a large paddy field and an endless blue sky can be seen on both sides of the road, with a few white clouds in the blue. Neattrees and sweet air companies with us along the way, it’s quite a sense of paradise.

Unfortunately, we encountered working hours as we enter the urban areas. As the amount of traffic increases, it challenges our attention and response capability. Various situations on the road are pass down by commands as we have to stay aware of all the traffic signs. We have to maintain  focus, be aware of all surroundings, and stay concentrated. The order of our cycling team can sometimes be messed up due to start off and the width of the road. Nevertheless, what doesn’t change is how everyone uses their loudest voice to pass down “stay right!” and “be aware of the bus!” During the process of cycling we can all feel that each individual has become stronger with all the caring, cooperation, and reminder. We have become a stronger class and team as a whole.

學習等待、學習聆聽，並學習忍耐，是這九天以來我們學習到的團隊態度；同時這些日子來的自我管理，也讓我們更加感謝父母和師長的付出和辛勞，接下來的挑戰，我們，準備好了！

Learning to wait, learning to listen, and learning to be patient are the team attitudes we have learned from the past nine days. At the same time, the self-management these days have made us more grateful for the dedication and hard work of our parents and teachers. The next challenge, we are ready!
