Something all of us take for granted is being prepared for serious issues that may arise on the trail.  We put on our helmets, gloves, kit, and just ride.  However, it is important to take the time to familiarize yourself with wilderness first aid.  As an on going effort to educate our community, we wanted to post a few links with some good basic tips.  We are also developing wilderness first aid classes that will be held periodically for those who are interested in learning first hand how to apply the basics on the trail.
