How's it going everyone, I’m back from Moab Utah with some horrible sunburn and loving it because the trip was absolutely incredible (except for the 7hr layover in Dallas due to tornadoes). I got to ride some of the most talked about trails in the world in pretty much ideal conditions. The weather was nuts, basically 75 and sunny every day. We rode back to back to back to back days, hitting all the spots that anyone would want to hit. If you ever get the opportunity to ride porcupine rim TAKE IT. It is a total epic, everyone one of us had grins glued to our faces the whole way down (except for bob who wanted to jam a rock in his hand).

We rented a car that would have made JZ proud full leather with a nav, made the trip a real pain in the ass...

We ate like kings too, good Mexican food and beer is the best post recovery food anyone can imagine.

I could write a novel about the trip but the pics do the talking. Enjoy.

Someone built this killer step up, i was to beat to hit it
