Slickrock Trail -- Nov '06 -- TR

[Sombeech]

**This trail is featured on the Video Page (http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1469)**

Slickrock Bike Trail, of course found in Moab, Utah.

The full loop is 10.6 miles, excluding a practice loop of 1.3 miles.

KillEmAll hit this on Sunday morning the 5th. We would temporarily group up with a few people we didn't know. Most mountain bikers are cool, and are willing to hang out with you, help out in anyway. We just had a fun time on the trail. We would pump each other up on making some of those brutal climbs, even though we were complete strangers.

There was a photographer from www.moabactionshots.com taking a few pics.

Go to biking, november, 5th, slickrock trail. ..and we're on roll 1.

Dang! Very nice! Wish I would have had my bike and someone to watch Brady. Its just a big fun park for MTB'rs. :popcorn:

[Sombeech]

Also, there were a lot of Single Speeders there that day. We stayed in pretty much one gear the whole time, and it was equivelant to what the SS ratios were.

I think they work pretty nice on that trail.

Looks like good times. Who was the ambulance for?

Good times. :cool2: Keep your eyes peeled for the helmetcam footage of this, possibly within this week. (the final cut, not the "crazy" clip :haha: )

Yes there were. And we were there too.

I'm not sure who the ambulance was for. Maybe somebody overheated in november.

I think when they saw us roll into town with bikes on the rack they just thought they should be prepared. I noticed a disappointed look on their faces when we made it back. :haha:

Yeah, they were thinking "those losers will never make it without spandex". Bob, get the denim scissors, and the spandex spray paint, we've got a job to do.

There is nothing worse than a man in spandex. Sorry spandex wearers :mrgreen:

[shagster]

Sweet picts guys, I am definatley jealous. I wish I could have been there. I am going to try and go to St. George or Moab before X-Mas sometime.

"There is nothing worse than a man in spandex. Sorry spandex wearers"

Hey what's wrong with spandex? You gotta have something to help protect the little guys.

[Ross]

nice pics, looks like a good trip :2thumbs:

Can't wait to ride slickrock sometime.

edit: oh yeah, spandex ftw.

[greyhair biker]

Spandex is your friend--BUT, and I do mean BUT, there is a law that states " spandex is a privelege, NOT a right " :2thumbs: :naughty:
....some of us can wear it, some of us can't....


....that being said, I have a full armament of all types & occasions :haha: but I like my freeride shorts the best

I don't ride bikes so I should not speak... but I have always thought men should not wear spandex! --- or at least hide them under real clothes :ne_nau: -- they should not wear those horrible little bikini swimsuits either! :eek2:

Do all you bike riders wear it?

There is this photo of Brian from SLC floating around out there in cyber land --- who posts here, but not often (mostly in the climbing section I would guess) ... You awake Brian... There is a photo of him in Pink Spandex that is to die for! Than man can wear Spandex anyday!!!!! :haha:

Anyone else have some good spandex shots of themselves?

[ogdmfg]

Had some spandex once Then I vowed never again just gave it away

[accadacca]

Do all you bike riders wear it?
Hell No!! :nono:

[Sombeech]

Hell No!! :nono:
In fact, you'll hear me in the parking lot, on video, telling some other bikers that it's OK if we don't have biking shorts.

[greyhair biker]

...I couldn't resist....

[Sombeech]

That was the whole point of these picts. Everyone was laughing their heads off... That is also why I said VERY SELDOM, this was the one and only time........

[accadacca]

Yeah sure dude... :lol8:

Great shots, Sombeech! Please don't tell seminolefan about this site. Yeah, I wear spandex (my wife tells me I look HOT!) and I probably look funny but oh well. At 6'7" and 215 lbs about any biking gear makes me look funny. With Spandex I can move around on the saddle and not get hung-up like baggy shorts do. Just my preference. Love your Klein- that thing's a classic!

Some women like men in spandex and they even like them in those little itty bitty spandex swimsuits.....

I have always wondered about those women :haha:

I have to agree, the last time I let a girl talk me into hair removal I left the place bleeding allover. :ne_nau: It hurt like hell.

[greyhair biker]

Seriously, I dont know how anyone could NOT like the Slickrock trail! I have ridden it so many different ways for so many years and it still doesnt get old. Last time I rode it was the first time I rode the downhill rig on it and it was a totally different trail!! I rode in places that I hadnt brfore - even when I rode it with my motorcycle! I would climb up stuff and ride over stuff & drop off stuff that would make people cringe! I know, I'm a sucker for an audience but what a BALL!! :lol8:

[Sombeech]
