This is a news article from 2009. A 60 year old british man had gone Mountain biking alone in a place he was not familiar with, and fell to his death wile on the trip. They found his body 330m below from where his bike was found. This is an awful story but i think it can teach people a valuable lesson. If you are an unexperianced rider in a place that you have never been to before, you should not go alone! You should always be sure that you are safe and someone knows where you are. Traveling with a buddy is best if possible. You also need to know your limits. If you see a path that looks to challenging, and you might get hurt, or fall off the massive cliff beside you, dont do it, especially being alone. This article can teach everyone to think things through before doing them.
