The latest Bike mag has a list of "33 Greatest Trails in North America". These should look familiar to the Moab crew (granted, we didn't fully cover Kokopelli):


Best Descent: Porcupine Rim, Moab
Best Flow: Zippety Do Da, Fruita (Honorable Mention)
Best Fully Committed Trail: Kokopelli Trail, Fruita to Moab
Best Climb: Amasa Back, Moab (Honorable Mention)
Best Destination: Moab (Honorable Mention)

Also found I had pretty good coverage of a few others in their list:


Best Fully Committed Trail: Monarch Crest, CO (Honorable Mention)
Best Lift-Served Trail: A-Line, Whistler
Best Climb: Teocali Ridge, Crested Butte
Best Climb: Black Mountain, Pisgah (Honorable Mention)
Best Destination: Crested Butte
Best Destination: Sedona, AZ (Honorable Mention)
Best Must-Ride Trail: Dirt Merchant, Whistler (Honorable Mention)
Best Tight 'n Twisty Trail: Deadman's Gulch, Crested Butte
Best Tight 'n Twisty Trail: Cut Yer Bars, Whistler (Honorable Mention)
Trail of the Year 2008: 401 Trail, Crested Butte (Honorable Mention)
Trail of the Year 2008: Monarch Crest, Salida (Honorable Mention)

My first thought was "Dude, you've been living right!" Then I realized I've hit 16 of the listed 33 - less than half, so now I figure I need to get out and ride some of these other sweet trails. Sure, the glass may be half empty, but there's a fresh sixer in the fridge!

After reading the actual article in Bike mag, I have moved Crested Butte to the top of my list.

Rage, what's it like?

I just realized I should not have asked that question. Rather, I should save it for the next time we are enjoying some flavorful mugs due to my expectation that your answer will not be concise...
