Desert Lessons 3, 4 & 5
Having spent a full month playing and mountain biking here in the s/w Texas desert, I’ve discovered a few tips to make such adventures more enjoyable and less painful. First, it is essential to understand that everything in the desert is both very fragile and fraught with danger. If you ride off the trail, your track will remain for months, possibly years; a permanent blight on this otherwise stunning landscape. Equally, if you go off the trail, every living thing is prepared to protect themselves by drawing blood. But, if you somehow avoid all the medieval torture cacti, the ground is nothing but rock, stone and sand of varying sizes, but equal in their ability to brake bones.
The second rule is more of a requirement as life down here is tough, damn tough. So, too, is the cycling. If you are inclined to come down with your trusty mtb for a few days riding, be VERY sure you are in VERY good shape and are a VERY competent cyclist.

With these lessons well learned and well applied, you can have an incredible time riding in the desert. If you ignore these tips, however, then be warned; the desert takes no prisoners.

My friend cut her knee while we were mountain-biking in the desert. But don’t worry, she is okay. The cut looked worse than it is and she’s a tough girl.
As for where I slept, my friend’s have a van with a bed inside it that I used. It was nice and warm and every morning I got to watch the sunrise. Some nights it was so nice I slept outside in my sleeping-bag.
