Some pictures from my trip this last weekend to Moab. I went with a group of friends from work, we rode Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and had a blast. First ride was Poison Spider Mesa. The trail climbed to the top of a mesa, around the top, and then back down the other side.
Coming down the other side we took a trail called the Portal Trail. It was not for those with a fear of heights, you were basically on the side of a cliff staring at a 200+ foot drop. There were a couple of sections that were impossible to bike. Evidently some people have tried, and failed, so they posted signs on the sketchy parts.
On Saturday we rode Slickrock, which was a blast, and had a much lower risk of death. Still, there were some crashes...
and sunburns
Sunday we rode Porcupine Rim, which was my favorite ride. It started with a 3 mile uphill, then turned into 11 miles of rocky downhill. We did ride by a rider that had crashed pretty bad, and we got to see the Life Flight helicopter from Grand Junction land and fly him out. We were all a bit more careful after that.

Looks like an awesome trip, Stuart would be jealous. He found some pretty fun single track tails out here, if you guys ever feel like visiting the east coast!
