Yesterday, we went mountain biking and learned about bike safety. For example, did you know that road biking is much more dangerous than mountain biking? Every year there are about 900 biking related deaths in the US with the largest accident-prone population being 9-14 year olds.The trail was a sandy river trail that was more off-roading than mountain biking according to the experts, and definitely not suiting my taste. I like to look around wh
en I bike and when you mountain bike, every bit of your attention goes to making sure you don't hit that root or this rock. Nevertheless, I'll still give real mountain biking a try someday - maybe next saturday.Today we leave for Grand Gulch, UT, where we will be backpacking and doing rescue scenarios until Tuesday.

how do you get around all the way up to UT? I have a question about the wilderness medicine course also. does the cost include everything like camping fees etc. or do you pay out of pocket for everything as you go along?
Answer: we rent big white vans. Yes, the cost included everything (vans, hostel, camp fees, etc) except the gear some of us need to rent from REI.
