Whether you're out for a 2 hour ride or a 3 day adventure, you need to be prepared to overcome adversity as you encounter it on the
trail. Lot's of unexpected things can and will happen! Be as ready as you can. Tip #1: The importance of having
some toilet paper handy should never be underestimated.
Don't forget your machine either. If you are lucky,
you could end up riding 30-40 miles one way to have lunch in a nearby town. To do this successfully, your machine needs to be
in a well maintained condition. This is not one of those destinations where it is OK to arrive with a known issue. PREPARE!
Fix that leaky tire and replace those squeaking brakes or wheel bearings before you leave home.

DON'T BE THIS GUY!
You can do better than this. Bring and wear your helmet. No. You will not look like a
Sissy. You'll look sylishly smart! It doesn't really look like it, but this rider was extremely lucky.
