Hi,
I am a 54-year-old female. I got my WiiFit last fall and have been working diligently since after Christmas to lose weight. I am now down 20 lbs and have a bit to go. I bought the Fit Plus disk at the beginning of May and have become addicted to the cycling. I am currently working on getting all the balloons (I have only gotten 15-16 before running out of time currently). This forum has been invaluable for figuring out the cycling. I got all the levels by myself until I got to the expert level and I could not figure it out and I kept getting lost. Then I discovered this forum and the map. What a Godsend! I still get lost but now it is because I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, not because I simply have no clue where I am. I hope to figure out a route to get all the balloons and get back to my starting point soon, but the Spring air is calling so I may have to wait for another rainy day like yesterday to get much further!
Thank you to all who posted maps and routes and tips!

Hi JaePea. Yes, Wii Fit is really great for killing the rainy day blues. As I started in this forum I'm also have troubles to find the way in the expert level. With the friendly help here a have found the ways. As a small thanks I set up some maps. Congratulation for losing weight, but don't forget: losing weight is only a part of being fit.

Yes, it was your map that really got me started:) Also, thanks to very helpful information from several other posters. I couldn't have done it without you!!
I am really into the cycling because my mother died of a lung embolism caused by a blood clot after knee replacement surgery. If her legs had been stronger she would have been up and around and would not have gotten the clot. Therefore, I have good incentive to exercise my legs! Tonight, a few minutes ago, I got all the balloons for the very first time. I had 2:59 left on the clock when I hit the last one by Camel Rock (I skipped it going out to save some doglegging) and I made it back to my chosen start point, the Upland Green above the metal ramp tunnel (Upland Tunnel) with 1 second to spare! Now I have to work on speed. I did the death plummet down to the dry lake bed successfully the very first try, but I messed up coming out of the tunnel and had to back track to get the balloon on the S-green. Now, I want to get speedy enough to not do the death plummet and still make it back to my start point.
BTW, I am convinced there is a way down from the back of the temple to the road. On the way down, you can see that there is a very steep ramp of rock on the left end (from the top) of the terrace wall and a rock ramp back to the road pointing back up toward the ruins, so one would have to turn around but I am sure it is doable if you can figure out how. I have been trying but no luck so far.

I hope you find it. I am still bruised from jumping of the back of the ruins with no success. I got closest I think going to the right and up the rock and then down but never made it to the bottom. To me as you go up it looks not that high, but then looking from the top down it is totally different. I guess thats sort of the the way in real life, easy to get up but tough to get down. Keep us posted on your progress and happy cycling.
