Biking the Sahara - The Home Game!

Have you ever wanted to bike the world's most famous desert, but didn't have the time or the money? Well now you can! Biking the Sahara© is the new craze from Adventures@Home, the world leader in travel miseries brought to you! Experience the same discomforts and monotony without leaving own living room. You will feel the heat and the sand. You legs will ache, your butt will go numb, and the scenery will be more boring than a sack full of old ax handles. With Biking the Sahara© the annoyance is only limited by how long you play!

To play the game, you will need:

• A Stationary bicycle
• A 3000W Halogen Light
• A bucket of sand
• An industrial fan
• A bag of trash
• A bit of paint

Start by placing the stationary bicycle in your living room. Set the bicycle to the highest difficulty it will go. Remember, if it calculates your speed at more than 8mph, it isn't hard enough. Next, suspend the halogen light over it. Then, place the industrial fan in front of the bicycle so that it blows in the face of the rider. Now place the bucket of sand in front of the fan. Be sure that it is at the correct height so the sand will slowly blow over the bicycle when the fan is turned on. After that, dump out the bag of trash around the bicycle. For the final step, paint the wall in front of the bicycle. Use an even coat of tan or light brown. Then add a bit of color with big globs of drab green paint. Now you are all set to go!

To play, simply turn on the halogen lamp, get the fan going and start pedaling! You will be transported into that horrid desert in no time. The hot sun will be burning your back. The sand and wind will be whipping your face. Continue pedaling for 7 or 8 hours. Just like the desert, it won't be any different when you stop. Oh, and don't forget to watch that paint dry! (For added realism you could also have friends come over and hit you with pillows trying to knock you off the bike.)

When you get tired, take a break and try Moroccan Tea Party©.
