    Was just in Moab on Friday but no bike riding. Wish I could go along, but I'm not nearly skilled enough to hang. Someday.

You guys are going to have a blast in Moab. Is probably burst into flames out there, too. I got burned just walking from Moab Cyclery to Chile Pepper and back.

    Aaron, your making my life really expensive. First you make me get a new new mountain bike to be able to keep up with our trails. Then you go and show me a good reason to go out to Moab. I think my wallet would like me to stay away from you.

    The places with those features are getting snow right now... Guess we'll have to live with dirt and rock.

    Moab is cheap, all things considered.

    Who's gonna clean The Snotch?

    This guy straight up kills it....



    Watching this video, to the rider that's never been there will be like "pffft...what's the big deal with that?" And, based on that video, I'd agree. However, what the video doesn't show is the drop -off into the valley off the side of the switchback and how loose and sandy the trail is. One slip, and you're toast. At least that's the "trick" your mind plays on you while you're looking for your line.

    hey fellas, in exactly one week you will be riding your bike on this trail in one of the most beautiful places on this ball of rock and gas we call Earth:



    ...it just might be an ok time.

    Can you drop me off at Gunchies Bar and Grill on the way out of town instead? I heard they are having two for ones all week next week. And $1 off a large one topping pizza.

    Send me pics!

    Welp, this terrible, terrible trip is almost upon us. I'm sure everyone is going to have a horrible time, and no fun will be had.

    I'm disappointed that I can no longer label myself as a "tourist"
