Moab or Busts: The Original Motion Picture

For those of you unable to attend the screening tomorrow (Jon and O'Har); I am unable to upload last years video to youtube due to copyright issues with the soundtrack. You can, however, download a zip file of all 9 chapters here...

Enjoy at your leisure.

See yinz tomorrow, or a week, whichever applies...

T.G.I.F.!!!!!

I'll give you one guess as to which one of my favorite airport establishments opens at 5:00 am on Saturday?  Yep, 5:00 am!!!!

Gettin Boxy

I scored a box at the local Trek store.  Anyone have the allowable dimensions handy so I know how much I need to cut off?

Moab or Busts..... (the viewing party)

Ok, lets get shit pumped up a little.  May I suggest a Saturday morning Frick ride followed by a viewing of "Moab or Busts.....", a film by G.B.?

Where to hold the viewing???  Hmmmmm???   I'm open to suggestions.  We could pick someones house or tailgate somewhere (if we only had a generator).....

10????

Does that countdown timer say 10 days?  Holy shit!

Well, it's more like 10 days 20 hours but still, holy shit!

No creative countdown from me this year, guess I'm just being half-assed about this trip.

20,160 minutes

We will be landing in Denver this minute, 14 days from now. Just sayin...

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...

Stay away from mushrooms!!!

Right.  &   WRONG!!!!!!


Just thought the blog needed a post since it is t-minus 34 days......

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!
