I'm in Moab riding mountain bikes all week, and the connection at the hotel is very spotty, so I'll be posting only periodically for the next few days.

We've been riding all the great trails. Yesterday was Porcupine Rim (*****) (see video of Porcupine Rim) and today we spent hours on Sovereign (*****)(see a video of Sovereign), the latter which has replaced the former as my all time favorite trail. What a ride. It has great climbs, great descents and loads of beautiful, swoopy singletrack that just makes you grin. My bro-in-law commented on my perma-grin after one long section of particularly pleasing trai.

I did, of course, manage to put a huge ding in my bike. Fell backwards off a small ledge and, while I managed to stay upright, put a nice little nick on my Elllsworth Moment - argh. Them's the prices you pay for riding in a place that is all dirt, rock and sand.

Wouldn't be anywhere else in the world. Man, did I mention I love Moab?

Yeehaw...

* the videos are just gleaned from YouTube. But they give you a good idea of the experience. Just factor in speed and potential broken things...
