Ride planning

Alllll-righty then....   I was just trying to get some maps and directions printed out and wanted to make sure I had all of our bases covered.

I figured we would be hitting the 18mile road area of Fruita.  In Moab I have infor for Amassa back, the hazard county to Porcupine Rim section of the Whole Enchilada as well as the Poison Spider/Portal (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!) trails.  Not to forget Slickrock but we shouldn't need a map for Slick rock, right, I mean the trail markers are painted white lines on the rock, right.....

I believe that Mike and Chuch and I discussed this and our preference would be to ride Fruita/Grand Junction on both the 23rd/24th.  That is of course we dig up some sweet trail to ride.  So by my count if we rode every day (not that I'm suggesting we do) that would be 4 days in Moab and 3 in Fruita.

What other trails are we considering?  Sorry for being anally overprepaired but the "hey lets just go to the local bike shop and pick up a map" thang really only worked out for us in Fruita last year....  

BTW, Chris do you still have that map that you bought in Fruita?  Also, Chris, are you taking that bike rack?  Does it fit your rental vehicle?


Also, who wouldn't get the sweet ass rainbow kokopelli on a unicycle tattoo?????

I'm done brain dumping for now.

UN-F'N-ACCEPTABLE!!!

OK. I will acknowledge that most of us are now badass, jaded, seasoned veterans to the Moab pilgrimage, but this is ridiculous. Here we are, just under three weeks from showtime, and our blog is as empty as John's answering machine on a Friday evening. You bitches disgust me...

Alas, GB is here for you.

THIS is for yous...

Provocative. Enticing. Delicious. Something to sleep on. To sleep, perchance to dream...

20 days, Gentlemen...

Flight Booked from Columbus

I am booked on a flight from Columbus straight into Grand Junction. With the flights from Pittsburgh leaving so early and arriving back at 11 pm Sunday night the logistics work out way better for me this way. Plus it gives me an excuse to to skip bike baggage fees and test ride a new bike all week by renting one. I will see everyone in Grand Junction!
