Sweet! Hey, welcome to the forum. We'll have to be sure to meet up sometime that weekend. Right before we head down, we'll all send each other our cell phone numbers or something.

Have fun everyone!!!!!

Moab seems the place to be this weekend!

I bet you could still go! They are staying in a motel down there. Just pop in. Ride in front of 'Beech so we can get some good rear shots of you with his helmet cam. I think they are doing a few trails, biking and hiking.

I was wondering what you were doing online! I want to see PICS!

[Sombeech]

KillEmAll and I just got back. We've got some pics & video.

We hiked all day in Arches with accadacca, rockgremlin, and company. And this morning we hit Slickrock Trail.

I was anticipating hitting more bike trails, but just didn't have the time.

Mark was also down there doing a TON of ATV rides with 3 others. It sounded like a blast. They've got pics and video also. Now all I've gotta do is get him to join so he can post his stuff too.

Pics will be posted tonight. Wait about a week for the video. We had a great time down there.

Man it sounds like you all had a good time. I was close going but ended up at the sand dunes.
Next time i'm in.

Sand dunes, huh? That sounds pretty sweet as well. At least you got out and did something.

Very cool, man!

How did porcupine treat you? I wanted to ride that really bad, but couldn't get the time for the shuttle.

[xlr8rbmx]

Porcupine was amazing. We took the shuttle and linked it with Kokopolli's and LPS.

I rode all of the trails on my hardtail which was a blast, granted it was very hard on the body. The only bike casualty was a bent seatpost that happened at some point from the vibrations/drops of Slickrock : )

Ahhhh, you lucky dog. I wanted to hit that so bad.

But hey, we found some nice rooms at the Motel 6 for $35. Great rates. At those prices, we should go down again real soon.

Well, hey everybody, I hope everybody had fun. We'll have to try to meet up next time. I'd like to hit St George this winter, so that's our next venture.

Everybody start posting those trip reports! I'm working on my Slickrock thread tonight.

shuttle? SHUTTLE?! We usually just camp out down below in sandflats area and bike it up the hill to the trailhead! Last time I did Porcupine we rode from SandFlats - did the trail down to the river road and headed back into town to Moab Dinerfor a meal then, headed UP the hill and back to camp...30 mile round trip! I REALLY missed going down there this year!

That's it. You're not invited next time. If we could, we'd work out some kind of Shuttle on Slickrock. You know, with the jeeps crossing over on Hell's Revenge? We could just tie a waterski rope to the back of one to tow us up the hills.

[greyhair biker]

Ok--I WILL opt out for a shuttle (i am getting old you know) but I don't miss Moab trips unless there's a death in the family - or I gotta F$#@@&% work
