Moab Photos May 21-24

The Great White Rim Trail......





A small celebration after the first (of many) rainfall.
Layne, Ammon (doing the 'stop the rain dance'), Reese, Jeremy and Dan.


We can't have a real ride without Bike Problems can we?.................



Reese is good for at least 1 breakdown a trip.



Reese (again).....#2 breakdown....





Jeremy working on Dan's bike......



The 'Slot' Canyon on the White Rim Trail






Ammon (way down there) checking it out before we 'venture' in....



View from the trail.... I don't recommend this trail with biking shoes on your feet. Way slippery!!



Chad, Dan and Reese exploring the slot canyon...







The slot canyon is right across from this sign.



Just a sampling of the scenery...



This trail isn't for the wimpy.......




Lunch on day 1. Hogie sandwiches, chips, drinks, and cookies...

Here is footage of us passing through the Candlestick Campground. This is 3/4 of the way through day 1. What we didn't know ..was we still had 20+ miles and we were headed right into a rainstorm that dropped temperatures 20 degrees and put us at a standstill for 30-45 minutes.... by the time we got to camp...we were WET and COLD.


Gemini Bridges Trail..







Thanks to Steve (who dropped us at the top) we went all down hill except for the end.






There is a reason... I am sitting away from the edge.....(far left).....see next photo.

.......don't look down......

BARTLETT WASH:

The last stop (trail) prior to going home.

Here is video of the 'winner' (Layne) who acheived the highest marking point. Notice at the end of the video Ammon. He wasn't happy about it.





Thanks to Steve we were able to ride in Style!!!!!!!!
Click on the video for the real feel.
