DAY TWO
July 2, La Salle Mountain Trail
85 miles
Joe checks his bike before we start, as we slowly adjust to the altitude
of 9,465 feet at the beginning of the La Salle Mountain Trail.
It's our 2nd ride and here we go again, more suffering, more climbing.
Taking a break to snap photos of the scenery. The locals taught us how
to pump water from the natural spring water near the wild flower beds.
Our return from the trail. Here Joe returns from the La Salle Mountain
Trail. The return was faster because it was all downhill for 60+ miles.
DAY THREE
July 3, Slickrock Trail
Bring on the hard stuff!! 45 miles of technical
riding.
Yyyeah baby!!! This is the one you've read about. The classic trail—the
best mountain bike yrail in the world—SLICKROCK @ Moab!!!
Here Joe rides Slickrock Trail which proved very difficult with lots of
ups and downs on ROCK. The trail is very scary. It has claimed numerous
lives.
