No wonder people call it a mountain biking mecca, there are trails for everyone, of every skill level, and of almost any terrain that you could think of. I decided to try the infamous Slickrock trail. What a trip. Some of the weirdest riding EVER. Riding along the side of a boulder while trying to keep a bike upright is rather creepy. The tires stick to the rocks without a problem, but it is kind of eerie that way that they do.
I do have to admit, I was not a fan of Slickrock. It was a weird technical, probably one that I wasn't used to and shouldn't have ridden alone, but it is one that I can say that I have ridden. What a beauty it was.

After riding around on Slickrock for awhile and exploring some other trails I got to explore the city of Moab. Neat little town with a vibe all its own. I heard about this little bike shop so I had to go check it out, Poison Spider Bike Shop (visit them HERE). It was one of the coolest shops I have ever been in, great inventory, and an even nicer owner. After lunch and a town exploration it was back to the trails for more riding.
For my second ride of the day I hit up the M.O.A.B. Trails. They are fun, little less technical than Slickrock and allow for a solo rider to have a little more fun. Less climbing and a lot of fun flowing
sections with great views to boot.

After a few hours of riding it was back in the car and back to Amy's for the night. 8 hours of driving was worth it. I finally got to visit Moab! But boy I am beat today. This weekend it is off to Park City again to ride with the boys and then floating with the tri peeps then home.
