what goes through your mind when you show Danny Hart riding the end of the track but taking out the part where he totally smashed the last corner and boosted approximately five cubic meters of dirt into the crowd?....thanks for nothing, Luca Vitali.

More Ride Than Free: The Alta Rezia All-Mountain Tour
3.Nutrition:
- at least 2L of water for a whole day. Water purifying tablettes are great idea, take nearly no place and let you use the water form mountain streams in emergency.
- Take some normal food like few sandwiches, don't rely only on energy bars. Think how much you eat during the day normaly and make sure you take at lest a half of it in "normal food". Have 2 or 3 energy bars just i case but the most stupid thing you can do is take just water to camelback + energy bar + redbull.
4.Bike kit, all basic tool set, one 150g tube or thicker along with a patch kit. Take the cell phone and really important: any kind of light source. Petzl does really small ones.
All of that doesn't weigh more than 5kg incl. backpack. It does not take a lot to fall down and get knocked out, then wake up after few hours. And it is not easy at all for your riding buddies to carry you down to the valley or just to the refugee. Increased own movement in serious concussion can be deadly. Most of all, NEVER BE STUPID ENOUGH TO BE ASHAMED TO SHOUT OUT FOR HELP. I'm young, tough - I can make it, killed lots of people.

that's what you need to take into account when going for a allday/few day ride: such outdoors cannot be taken lightly. Take fundamental "survival" kit with you and really think through potential hazards (and just a hint: if you are 2 or more hours from civilization, high in the mountains - there's lot's of stuff that can f*ck U up pretty badly, and sometimes in such terrain due to the distance a small thing can do you)
1.Let someone know where are you going and how long are you going to be there (bivaking or not) Report at mountain shelters. Study the area where you go very well and always have a PAPER MAP. No Iphone pish.
2.Take clothing that will allow you to spend the night in case of emergency, even if weather forecast is good. In the middle of summer on such heights it might be +20 in the sun, but at night all it takes to make experienced temperature drop below zero is a bit of humidity and light wind. Great combo for summer is a 400 grade wool sweater/rain jacket (preferably with windstopper). It is Light and can be packed into 25L back pack. Additional wool socks and a hat is a very good idea too. 3/4 tights, baggy pants and knee pads should work fine as "pants".
