I'm pretty damn stoked, it looks like our trip to Moab the last weekend of March is on the road. We've gotten the double wide behind the Apache Inn, I've dropped 20 of the 50 pounds I want to drop before we go, and I'm starting to get really back into riding.
I've been to Moab a few times. I really have always had an awesome time. Last time with my buddies Rob and Bill was still the best trip yet, but this year is shaping up to be the true cream of the crop.
One of the few things I've never ridden in Moab are Porcupine Rim and Gooseberry Mesa. Anyone ridden them?
I hear the trick with Porcupine is to take the shuttle from the top, and then do the boogie on the way down.
Here are my questions:
- Would my ASR5 or my Intense SS be better for this trail?
- How off putting are the cliffs? I have a friend who has a pretty serious fear of cliffs on our ride.
- How "in shape" do I need to be for this? I'm 240 at the moment, the goal is 210. Realistic is 220.
Gracias in advance for the **** giving and any relevant advice.
