Sometime in February my friend Scott suggested a springtime trip to Moab. We picked a date (last weekend of April), booked flights, reserved a room and car, and waited for the day. The weekend before we were supposed to go, Scott wrecked in a race at French Creek and cut his leg so badly, they couldn't stitch it up. So we went without him. I had gone two years ago and with Scott's itinerary we were in good shape to make the trip on our own. 

The plan was to fly out Thursday and basically ride our asses off till we had to come home Sunday. We flew into Salt Lake City, UT, picked up our rental (more on that later) and made the four hour trip to Moab. First thing we did in Moab was pick up our (premium) rental bikes at Poison Spider bike shop, then check into the hotel. By this time it as about 2:30pm, so we decided to try a little ride. The famous Slick Rock trail would be our first. Below you will find links for our various rides in the order we did them.  


Moab is also known for off-road vehicles. People from all over the country come here to take their, jeeps, trucks and rock crawlers off road
around Moab. Part of the attraction is what they call the "slickrock", which isn't slick at all. Most of the area is surrounded by solidified
prehistoric sand dunes, so the terrain (in some places) and rock has excellent sand stone traction. Below is just one of the many custom
rock crawling rigs you'll see around town.  


And here's another. These guys were parked right outside our room.
