He tells them that they must get theHolly is the first Roadie to enter the Bullring in Chihauhua, Mexico. She's followed by Abe, Gladys, Brian, Joshua and finally Sarah. Piggy (RR6) pulls up in a white VW convertible and takes their cash and credit cards, then a matador arrives and tells the group that they are going to "face their fears". He tells them that they must get the keys to the Woodie from the neck of the beast. Everyone looks really nervous as they are shown the infimary, suit up, and are instructed in the art of bullfighting. As they wait for the bulls, Gladys prays "please let toro be little" while Brian crosses himself.
Gladys laments "I don't wanna die in Mexico"! But, as the bulls rage in their pens and the Roadies quake in their boots, a pack of 50 "wild" chihuahuas are released into the ring. As our heroes chase these vicious ankle biters, Joshua is bitten by a particularly nasty little fellow. Undeterred, Brian states, "I'm definitely not walking out of here without that key". The chase continues until the key is found on Menudo, who will be the group's mascot for this trip. When the Roadies check out the Woodie and all their new gear, they're totally psyched to find the 1st Clue: "This mission is a race against time: in Copper Canyon there lives an ancient people, The Raramuri, but this mission isn't about time, it's about crossing the line." Menudo and the gang settle into their home on wheels and start getting to know each other. They seem to hit it off, right from the start. Holly says, "the bond inside the winnie is very strong right now. We've clicked already and it's 8 hours into the trip!"
The Roadies arrive at Copper Canyon amid torrential rain. They're greeted by Al, who tells them at dinner that the mission is a cross country race against the Raramuri, spiritual "footrunners" who frequently sprint up to 100 miles a day! They also learn that they are the 1st "Gringo's" allowed to participate in this 20 mile event. Also, we hear, Holly is the only experienced runner in the group.
The gang is staying in a cave, Raramuri-style. Later, by the campfire, Brian predicts that they're gonna be the "Naked Road Rules Posse". That night, Gladys dreams of victory. At breakfast, Al explains the catch: they must carry a ball with them, no hands! "This is adding a whole new issue" according to Sarah. She adds, "It's not gonna be quite as easy as I thought". But as they check out their new running shoes, Abe says, "Holly's ready to whip some ass". Confident in her 10 mile a day, high altitude training he continues, "She's ready to rock and roll"! Finally, we meet Skip, the organizer of the event and Al's father, who explains that the Roadies will be handicapped and allowed to relay in teams to make it more competitive. We learn that Brian has already bared his lower half in the Woodie. His "snake" is more like a "doodle bug", someone says!!
