Mikelly Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Just got back from a week mountain biking in Utah. We did three days in Salt Lake area and three days in Moab. I know there are a few other mountain bikers on the board... If you have NEVER done it, I highly recommend you make this a MUST DO on your list of places to ride... All the hype about the place doesn't do it justice... Having mountain biked every year since 1988, I'm a bit hard to impress... I was blown away... If you plan only one trip outside of your local area to ever ride, Make it Moab! 120 miles in 6 days, I really needed this trip... I had no idea how stressed I was...

zero Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 so its as good as it looks and sounds huh. I guess im gonna have to go there. I just got avid discs so i feel like im ready to tackle anything. Mike what bike do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted October 13, 2002 Author Share Posted October 13, 2002 Right now I've got a Diamondback XR4 with Hayes and full XTR/ XT mix. I'm running a light race fork (Carbon Manitou Mars) up front which Wasn't as good on those three and four foot drops on Porcupine Rim, but it worked... I'm thinking about getting a new Jekyll or soething else with 4-5 inches of travel front and rear... BTW, my buddy has the Avid mechanical discs and they are AS NICE as my Hayes... Less maintenance too! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
