I decided to make a last minute trip down south this weekend. I will be leaving on Thursday evening, and returning home Sunday evening. With that said I will have Friday, Saturday, and part of the day Sunday to ride. I am planning on riding the Green Valley loop at least once, and I need some suggestions on other trails in the area that are worth hitting. If you have any favorite trails in that area please let know. Also if anyone is going to be down in that area and wants to ride we could meet up just let me know. Thanks for the help.

You've gotta hit JEM Trail, Gooseberry Mesa, Guacamole.

The latest craze down there is Little Creek Mountain, just SouthEast of Gooseberry.

How many trails do you want to hit? I would suggest bringing some Glutamine and Creatine for recovery, if you want to hit a couple a day, 2-3 days in a row.

We are meeting at 6:30am and pulling out at 7:00am. If your up for the early ride you ought to come hjoin us, we are hitting the South Rim

Well thanks to Shuntavi and the gang we had a great trip down south. We ended up riding Gooseberry Mesas South Rim on Saturday A.M. with Shuntavi and his group. What a great trail, and great people to ride with. After the ride we went back to the shop and hung out for a little while. We also rode the Green Valley Loop which is always a good time. Here are a few pictures that I snapped on the trails. Thanks again to Shuntavi and his gang for the great ride. :2thumbs:

In the early morning the temperature was just right, but by about 9:30 or 10 it was starting to heat up pretty good. We were done riding and off the trails by 11:30 both days. The only way to go is the early morning rides or really late afternoons.
