ya that pretty much seperates the good from bad riders or should i say soon to be good riders! not going to say sides though.

Ya not sure why they are soo big i made my account on photobucket only go up to 256k so they shouldnt be too big o well ou get more detail that way.

The guys that are dressed like its winter out are from colorado too the rest are from the good ol state of washington. w00t!

Okay here are some pictures from a hike last night:

Bummer, I assume that the UPR is still in the snow? There's a bunch of nice scenic singletrack above that starting point. The next drop off is at the gate about 3-4 more miles up the road....

 

[cove rider]

umm not sure what UPR is??? ya i dont know what the ride is like i just saw the start then i had to drive a friends car back to camp

o woops forgot to post up some new pics from hiking at arches yesterday welp here ya go:

"UPR" is "Upper Porcupine Rim". You can get on to the trail from two main parts farther up which are singletrack and a much different vibe that the rest of the ride. Probably snowed in right now though.
But, if you had continued up the access road about another 3-4 miles that would have let you start higher up.
The rest is fun though bt mostly jeep road until the last 2-3 miles.

Some panoramics i put together in photoshop from the trip

 

[sessions]

the panoramas are great. I like the clouds in the first one and the third one is good with the mountains with the ridges you see in them.

 

[cove rider]

thanks the last one is huge! but in photobucket its really small so you cant really see the detail in it.

 

[Showa]
