1 . Hiking, that is, travelling on foot, can be a great way to spend time outdoors.
Map out your way before setting out. Tell your friends or family where and when you will be hiking, and when you expect to return.
In the case of lightning storms, stay away from tall trees and go quickly to the lowest—lying land you can find. On hot summer days, it’s necessary to bring clothing and a raincoat.
If you have worked out a hiking plan and told your friends or family your plan, help will be on the way as soon as they realize that you are missing. The best course of action is to stay in one position so that search groups can find you. Try to find a grassland or clearing where you may be seen from the air. A BDS is a good helper. With a BDS, your friends or family may easily know where you are.

5 . Before the dark cloud cast a shadow over my life, I was a 39-year-old woman who enjoyed traveling, listening to jazz music and reading. Then my whole life changed. On November 10th 2019, I awoke from sleep with the worst headache of my life. I was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with brain aneurysm (动脉瘤)! After emergency surgery, I lay on the bed feeling shocked and lost. Yet, I knew I had to face the music.
Nine months later, my doctor recommended I start cycling to help flood my brain with oxygen, which benefited my physical recovery. I hadn’t used one in almost two decades, so I was scared. However, with the support of my wonderful cheerleader, Brian, my husband, I got on a bike cautiously. After only three minutes, I was tired and my hands were shaking. I felt powerless and wanted to give up, but Brian encouraged me with smiling eyes. I rode for a few minutes, stopped to rest and rode again. Little by little I could ride continuously for ten minutes! My husband joked I deserved the first prize!
Now, I ride whenever I have the energy. Usually, I get on the bike a few times a week. Last year I participated in a benefit ride for the local school. I enjoy traveling internationally, but haven’t had the opportunity to do so since my surgeries. I hope to one day be able to ride in another country. Until then, though, I’ll participate annually in the Good Old Summertime Classic and continue my local routes.
Biking not only restores my body but also my soul. It feels empowering to take charge of my body and life again. I know I will ride on.
