MOAB ROCKS!!!

We decided to spend the 4th of July week in Moab Utah this year. Turned out to be a great descision. Lonna was not as impressed as the rest of us, since everything is extreme here.

Shoulda figured when the pocket guide we got described the Slickrock bike trail like this... "This is the ride that made Moab. The mix of strenuous wall climbs and hair-raising dips, half pipes, and ledge drops on unbelievably high traction sandstone will make you a changed rider. This is THE slickrock trail. The promised land. The point to the pilgrimage. ..."

I think we are indeed changed riders. Made a short movie with some highlights. Need to get a better camera and practice with it more.

It was nice for us being there in the summer. The locals all thought it was hot, but being from the Phoenix area, anytime it gets below 95 after the sun goes down, its nice out!

The trails were wide open (only ever saw a couple of other people when biking and never saw another vehicle when 4wheeling), That gave us novices a great chance to ride without embarassment. Anyway, we had a great time and Will look forward to our next trip (except Lonna, who had enough the first time.)

Get Out! Get On! and Get Riding!
