Series Summary

So you're getting ready to head off into the middle of nowhere on your new mountain bike, with images of extreme sports heroics and Mountain Dew commercials dancing in your head. Ignore the fact that you spend all day at the office, all night watching tv and all weekend puttering around the house. Just resting up for the big adventure, you tell yourself. All you have to do to be ready is actually purchase the bike you've had your eye on for weeks. Then you're ready to go. Think again. First of all, you need to get into shape. You may be able to pedal over the horizon, but you also need to be able to get back as well. And what happens if you fall off your bike and dent your noggin because you don't have the proper riding technique or the right helmet? Or something goes wrong with your bike. How are you going to get it back in running order? Perhaps you haven't seen The Hills Have Eyes or Deliverance, but the lesson to be learned from these movies is that wilderness has some pretty unsavory lessons in store for those who venture forth unprepared.
