Thanks, Tom!
You can bet you life I'll be thinking of ya' ripping it up down there as I'm shackled down to my desk.
I can't wait until I can check off Moab from my far too large "must ride" list.

Leaving April 22nd. Coming back May 1st.
First and probably only time. So, it better be good.
Hitting Bend on the way down and on the way back...
Got a place for Whistla in July too. Finally.
So, I can check those places off my, "must do before I die" list too.

MOAB is an awesome time. I went there last summer and hit SlickRock, Porcupine trail and Monitor Merrimack. Enjoy your trip...
yup, got in yesterday after 2500 miles, 6 states, and 4 days in moab.
rode slickrock and porcupine rim until my friend broke his bike. so about 4 days of riding. GOOD TRAILS!!!!!!!! just a bit cold yet. starting today is jeep safari week so its probably buck wild down in Moab this week.

Old tires is a good idea. On slickrock which is (everywhere) nobs arn't as good as worn tires.
The last time I was there I did a 6:30am solo ride on the Slickrock Trail. Anywhere in Moab the views there are one of a kind.
Amasaback Trail kicks ass technically and visually.

Ynot, we were going to ride amasaback, but my friend toasted his haro werx frame on porcupine rim. the guy down at one of the shops said theres all sorts of ladders and bridges/ dirt jumps up near amasaback, after the first set of cattle guards. we were really looking forward to riding up there. next time i suppose.
some locals ride slicks out there. its crazy

Just a quick teaser before I head off to work. We rode Poison Spider Mesa, Porcupine Rim , the Slickrock Trail Practice loop (at night), and Amasa Back. Poison Spider was sunny and warm, Porcupine Rim was cold and a little snow (very little), and Amasa Back was cold and rainy then it cleared up and then it started hailing! Weeee!
Porcupine Rim was my favorite with all the rocky sections and downhill stuff. There were many small drops to be enjoyed and it was really fast! I'll post the lame selection of pics tonight.
I don't want to go back to work! I'd rather be riding in Moab!

Hail?!? I suppose that's what you get when you taunt the homies about the weather before you bail.:eviltongu
Glad to hear you had a blast. I didn't even go and I don't want to go back to work either.
p.s. - my new ride should be built up before I call it a day today:dancing:

A pic of me on Poison Spider Mesa, the only really sunny day!
Sorry to hear about the weather sucking while you were down there Tombikeguy100k said:
Did you guys shuttle Porcupine Rim? Details! I'm leaving in 17 days!!
Snacks, we did take the shuttle up to Porc Rim. That trail was so fun! It was rocky and rough and a kick in the butt! Ohhh baby! Here's a few pics from Porc Rim for y'all!
Pics from Poison Spider Mesa. The rider is my friend Tim. This ride was full of deep sand pits. The slickrock sections were great, but the sand is heinous! I recommend doing another trail. We did do Amasa Back and that one is definitely a must do.
Last set of pics is from our drive over. We arrived on the scene of this rock slide about 15 minutes after it happened. All the people in cars pitched in to clear the road somewhat so cars could pass. A semi truck hit this rock and pretty much wiped out the front right cuarter of the engine. He hit another truck and it's trailer/tanker was hammered too. Nobody was hurt, thankfully. The truck driver hit it right as it hit the road.
The trailer was still there when we drove home Monday morning.

I forgot the couple pics I took from the Slickrock Trail! Geez! These pics were taken at dusk. We rode a little with our lights. If you go to Moab, take lights for sure!
Wow. That place looks UNreal.
I like this shot - although I would bet the hailstorm you mentioned happened soon after you took it.
Good to hear nobody got messed up w/ that rockslide. You always see the roadsigns, but rarely do you see that.
