On Thursday afternoon, five of us loaded up our bikes and headed to Moab for the annual Fall trip. JD and I represented Utah, and Chris Matson, Pieter Knight, and Clay Shubin came from Denver. Thursday night we ate at Pasta Jay's. JD lost at credit card roulette and was stuck with the $150 tab. We camped up at Salt Flats by Slickrock and our tents were hammered by the wind all night. Needless to say, we went with the hotel on Friday night. On Friday, we rode a great trail called Bull Canyon. It was recommended to us by the owner of Coyote Shuttles and our old friend, Christie, drove us to the trailhead. It was about 17 miles long and passed by Gemini Bridges. It was a great ride, and we all enjoyed it. JD took a pretty good spill and almost face-planted into a Yucca. The views were great. On Friday afternoon we rode the entire Slickrock loop on tired legs but it was a fun end to a great day of riding. We also did some fourwheeling on Baby Lions Back and Hell's Revenge.

Before our Friday rides, we made a quick trip up Baby Lions Back
Breakfast at the Moab diner. Buckwheat pancakes and lots of eggs. Matson sucked down his usual Red Bull to take the edge off the bad night of sleep.

Looks like you are making a Land Rover commercial! Looks like you had fun. Glad you got home without any stitches. Way to go with the blog. I'm so impressed!!
Steven,
It was so great seeing all of you last weekend. Your kids are adorable and make me wish that we lived there. The weather didn't help that idea though. I'm loving the weather down here. Don't be jealous. Just come for a visit.
Love all of your biking pics. I felt like I could totally do it. Obviously you made it look too easy. I'm thinking the driver in the car was having a little too much fun....until he flipped that sucker over. Keep the updates coming. They're great! Can't wait for Christmas!
