It is more fun with four wheels.

Discovery ran a 10 week series of Car vs Wild featuring 3 characters:   Bill Wu, a 4x4 fanatic, Gary Humphrey, a retired SF veteran, and Ruby Jeep.  The  series ran a behind the scene feature show and it could be the end of the series. (They started in September 2013. So it must be the end of the series?)

It is a fascinating series about off roading. Some of the amazing things done:  winching up the Ruby up a 45 degree incline to the top of volcano, doing pendulum for the ruby, hanging it from top of the tree, righting up the ruby using winch and pulleys and straps,   lowering the ruby from edge of the cliff using straps, ropes and the winch.  Pretty scary and dangerous stunts? Maneuvers.

I drifted away from 4 wheeled vehicle - I shifted to biking

As I grew older, I had to seek more exercise rather than just exercising my arm.  The only time we had more exercise was when we did winching, towing, or repairing the vehicle, or may be changing flats.  But that was not often.  I grew diabetic and had to exercise more.  My cholesterol and uric acid shot up.  At one time, I could not walk and the doctor prescribed biking.

And so I biked and I became better.  I grew stronger.  I bought more bikes and totally forgot the 4x4. I still do rides this time bike rides.
